WATCH THE CLIP

<p>Barca are hoping to buy into that, having already acquired Dani Olmo this summer, and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/nico-williams-wants-barcelona-confident-signing-euro-2024-hero-makes-huge-future-decision/blt3499a00084c783ad" target="_blank">believe that Williams would be open to joining</a> fellow <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/explained-why-teenage-wonderkid-lamine-yamal-same-path-lionel-messi-barcelona-academy-graduate-make-difference-in-football/blt12d04cd8ebc591fe" target="_blank">hot prospect Lamine Yamal</a> in Catalunya. Athletic would, however, be reluctant sellers.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>They are doing all they can to retain Williams, with it revealed that the youngster has been handed their No.10 shirt for 2024-25 – as he inherits the iconic jersey from legendary forward Iker Muniain. Williams has told the club’s official media: “Very happy to wear Muniain’s number 10 and to make history as he has done.”</p>

WHAT WILLIAMS SAID

<p>Williams has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/nico-williams-decision-spain-euro-2024-hero-stay-athletic-club-barcelona-transfer-pursuit/blt105e3d5cb78cad89" target="_blank">rejoined Athletic’s ranks during pre-season</a>, but missed their recent friendly date with Stuttgart in Germany. They are due to open their 2024-25 La Liga campaign at home to Getafe on Thursday, with it possible that a prized asset will figure in that contest.</p>
