Transfer: Barcelona identify Ronaldo’s teammate as Nico Williams alternative

Barcelona have reportedly set sights on Portugal captain, Cristiano Ronaldo’s national teammate Rafael Leao this summer as a potential alternative for Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams.

Williams is said to have decided to stay at Athletic Bilbao amid links with Barcelona.

However, according to El Nacional, the Blaugrana have identified Leao as a solution to their left-wing issues.

The Catalan club believe that €80 million will be enough to sign Leao from AC Milan.

The fee is much higher than the €58 million clause they needed to activate to sign Williams from Athletic Bilbao.
