THE BIGGER PICTURE
As per , sources inside the club have said that Williams is eager to join Barcelona this summer and join forces with the Catalan side as they look to continue their rebuild under new boss Hansi Flick. The club has already signed Dani Olmo from RB Leipzig for a reported fixed fee of €55m (£46m) and €7m (£5m) in add-ons and will have to make space in their already tight budget for Williams' potential signing.
