Spanish international, Nico Williams, is on the verge of joining Barcelona after reportedly agreeing personal terms on a long-term contract with the Catalan giants.
According to renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Nico Williams and Barça have sealed an agreement on a six-year deal that will keep the winger at Camp Nou until June 2031. The deal will see the Athletic Club star earn a net salary in the region of €7-8 million per season.
While personal terms are now in place, Barcelona are still working on finalizing the financial aspects of the transfer with Athletic Bilbao.
The 21-year-old has become one of the most sought-after young talents in Europe following an impressive campaign in La Liga and at Euro 2024 with Spain.
Meanwhile, in the Premier League, Arsenal are making significant strides in their pursuit of a top-class striker. After narrowly missing out on the title for three consecutive seasons, the Gunners are determined to bolster their attacking options.
Reports from Germany indicate that Arsenal have reached an agreement on personal terms with RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko.
The 22-year-old Slovenian has been a long-term target for Mikel Arteta, who views him as the ideal solution to the club’s long-standing need for a prolific centre-forward.
Sport Bild claims Arsenal are now preparing to submit an official offer to Leipzig, one that is expected to meet the German club’s £60 million valuation.
Leipzig are reportedly open to selling the forward after failing to qualify for European competition next season.
Arsenal had also considered Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyokeres earlier in the summer, but Sesko now appears to be the preferred choice.
In other Arsenal transfer developments, veteran midfielder Thomas Partey is weighing up a contract offer from the club as he nears free agency. Turkish giants Fenerbahce are said to be monitoring his situation closely.
With major moves developing at both the Emirates and Camp Nou, the summer transfer window is heating up fast.
