The club is optimistic that the talented forward will put pen to paper as early as next week, with only financial logistics left to finalise the deal.
Nico has been a top priority for Barcelona's president, Joan Laporta, even before his heroics in the Euro 2024 final, where he scored the opening goal in Spain's 2-1 victory over England.
His potential addition would be a crucial boost for La Blaugrana, who are eager to strengthen their squad.
What can prevent Barcelona from signing Nico?
For this transfer to materialise, Barca will need to make room both in their squad and their budget.
According to Barca Blaugranes, the club is working tirelessly to facilitate the move, with some exits already in motion.
Julian Araujo is reportedly set to join Bournemouth, and French defender Clément Lenglet could also be on his way out to free up the necessary funds.
Williams' supposed decision to join Barcelona marks a significant turn in the transfer saga, adding another layer of intrigue to the summer transfer window.
