Pedri asks Hansi Flick to sign a heavyweight star who he wants to partner Lamine Yamal in Barcelona’s attack

Pedri is not only one of Barcelona’s standout players on the field, but also a key figure in the locker room and an influential part of the club’s sporting strategy. The Spanish midfielder is determined to help the team bounce back after a disappointing season, where Barcelona ended the year without any trophies.

According to El Nacional, Pedri is well aware of the team’s needs and has shown strong support for signing Nico Williams, the talented winger from Athletic Bilbao, to make a significant impact at Barcelona next summer.

Nico Williams, known for his speed, dribbling, and ability to break through defenses, has gained widespread attention. Barcelona had reportedly shown interest in him last summer, and Pedri, having played alongside Nico for Spain, believes he would be a perfect addition to bolster the team’s attack.

Pedri, who shares a close bond with Nico due to their national team connection, has expressed to Barcelona’s coaching staff, including Hansi Flick, that he sees Nico’s arrival as a major boost for the team. He believes Nico would fit seamlessly into Barcelona’s playing style, especially alongside Lamine Yamal, one of the club’s top young prospects. The combination of Lamine’s dynamism and Nico’s physicality could create a powerful attacking duo, rich in potential.

Their chemistry has been evident in their international appearances for Spain, where they have demonstrated excellent teamwork. Pedri believes their partnership could greatly benefit Barcelona, providing the team with a strong boost.

Despite Pedri’s enthusiasm, securing Nico Williams will not be easy. He is under contract with Athletic Bilbao and has a €58 million release clause. While Barcelona faces financial challenges, they might still manage to sign him if they can free up wages or offload other players.

Moreover, Barcelona is not the only club interested in Nico, as top European teams like Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain are also watching his situation. This could make negotiations more difficult and drive up the price. However, Nico’s preference to stay in Spain could give Barcelona an advantage, as he is inclined to remain in his home country.

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick shares Pedri’s view on the importance of strengthening the attack and highly values the qualities Nico Williams could bring. His addition is expected to significantly enhance the team, particularly in one of the most crucial areas for both domestic and European competitions.
