Summer Chelsea transfer target Nico WIlliams has reportedly decided that he now wants to make the move to Barcelona – and join the revolution that is happening at the Camp Nou.
Nico Williams is one of the most talked about wingers in the game right now and is a player that have been linked with some of the games biggest clubs because of that £53 million release clause.
CHELSEA have been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge for the past few weeks as it has been claimed on numerous occasions that Enzo Maresca is a massive fan of the Spanish star and is ready to pay big money to get a deal done.
However – As per SPORT, 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

Look, Williams would have been a great signing for CHELSEA – he could have been a real statement signing – but that move to Barcelona is much more appealing to the lad right now and it is probably the right one to make.
It is a shame that the lad does not want to come to the Premier League at this stage of his career – but if he makes that move to Barcelona this summer – they will have a very exciting attack for the new season that is for sure.
JOAO FELIX TALKS –
Shocking reports have claimed that Chelsea are interested in bringing Chelsea star Joao Felix back to the Premier League after opening talks with Atletico Madrid about a potential deal for the attacker.
After months of speculation and rumours – CHELSEA made the decision to bring Joao Felix to Stamford Bridge in the January window in hope that he could reignite the club after a poor start to the season.
However – despite all the hype – Felix’s loan spell at Chelsea has come to an end after the conclusion of the 2022-23 campaign, with the 23-year-old scoring four goals in 20 Blues appearances.
He did not light up the Premier League like many people had hoped – but the Chelsea board were still keen to make him a permanent signing, with claims that they offered £88 million for the man.
However – former Blues boss Mauricio Pochettino reportedly told the board that he was not interested in signing Felix on a permanent basis as he is looking to add a more out-and-out striker to the attack, and Felix was shipped back to Madrid.
Chelsea are among the clubs taking a look at the Portuguese winger – That’s according to reports in Spain, who claim the Blues are interested in signing the ex-Chelsea man permanently from Atletico Madrid.
Atleti are said to prefer a sale this summer with Felix also keen to leave, and a price tag of £25m has been set.
As he is seemingly done at Madrid – and the likes of Manchester United and Newcastle have also been linked with a possible move.

If the reports are true – this is crazy – Felix was a huge disappointment during his first stay at CHELSEA and could be another waste of money,
ABRAHAM TRANSFER CLAIM MADE –
Roma striker Tammy Abraham has dismissed links regarding a possible exit from the club this summer, with Chelsea a club that are reportedly interested in a shock deal for their former striker.
Since making the move to Italian football in the summer of 2021 – Abraham has gone on to develop himself as the number one striker at Roma and a man that former boss Jose Mourinho can really rely on.
He has banged in over 40 goals in just over 100 appearances and his performances has led to alot of speculation in the media that a move back to the Premier League could be on the cards – with a number of clubs interested.
However – amid all the speculation and rumours – Abraham has opened up and revealed that he does not want to leave Roma this summer window – Speaking to Sky Sports News in Italy, he said: “Since the first day here in Rome I have wanted to demonstrate my passion for football and my desire to help the club .
“I am a smiling and always positive person . This is my first post-injury preparation, it is my season and I want to show that I am back.
“The rumours, obviously, are nice, it means you are doing well, but I am here with Roma and I am available to do my best.”

Abraham has proven to be a top-level striker while over in Italian football – but moving back to CHELSEA – trying to make an impact – it will not work.
If he does leave Roma this transfer window – then we are sure that it will not be for a move back to the Blues -as we just said – he would struggle to lead that attack
