With the much-anticipated new deal with Nikenow confirmed and a huge cash injection expected with the return to the Spotify Camp Nou next season, Barcelona are plotting a big signing for the summer of 2025 and two names are at the top of the list.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s according to Fabrizio Romano, who says Athletic Bilbao\u2019s Nico Williams and AC Milan\u2019s Rafael Le\u00e3o are two names that are \u201chighly appreciated\u201d by the club\u2019s decision makers.<\/p>\n
Both players would fill a key position in attack on the left wing and add much-needed depth to a Bar\u00e7a frontline that has only consistently counted on three players \u2014 Lamine Yamal, Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski \u2014 so far this season.<\/p>\n
Nico was already very close to signing for the Blaugrana last summer and Rafa Le\u00e3o\u2019s agent Jorge Mendes has a great relationship with Bar\u00e7a president Joan Laporta, which only fuels the rumors as we get closer to transfer season.<\/p>\n
It remains to be seen whether the club will sign either of the two stars, but Bar\u00e7a fans better get ready to hear those two names quite often in the next 8-10 months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
