With the club's financial situation having caused a number of recruitment-related issues in recent seasons, a key strategy for those in charge of transfers has been the targeting of free agents.
Ilkay Gundogan, Andreas Christensen and Inigo Martinez are among a list of players who have joined the Blaugrana without a transfer fee being paid, and it appears Xavi Hernandez and his staff will continue looking to do smart business going forward.
Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams has recently been linked with the LALIGA champions, with his deal in Spain currently set to expire at the end of the season.
Spanish journalist Enric Canyellas, as cited by Barca Universal, has now reported that the 21-year-old talent and Barcelona have struck an agreement over a free transfer in 2024, after it initially appeared that the Spain international would extend his stay at Bilbao.
It is claimed the Blaugrana's approach to his entourage has caused a change in Williams' heart, in a move that would see the tricky winger stop playing with his brother, Inaki Williams.
Nico is considered to be one of Spain's most promising up-and-coming attackers, having already contributed to six goals in 10 matches for his country's senior side since his debut in September last year.
