Nico Williams’ decision to pen a new contract at Athletic Club and snub a move to Barcelona has taken the club by surprise and left the Catalans thinking about alternatives.
Luis Diaz and Marcus Rashford are once again being linked with transfers to the club, but there’s no guarantee either player will arive this summer.
Deco has previously said Barcelona “must not fall into the tendency of signing players unnecessarily” and if he takes his own advice then Barca’s spending may be done already.
Hansi Flick could therefore turn his attentions to La Masia to find another left winger and he won’t lack for options.
