FC Barcelona is in search of a new forward to strengthen their attack after failing to secure the arrival of Nico Williams, who ultimately decided to stay at Athletic Club de Bilbao. In this situation, the Catalans have set their sights on Rafael Leão, the Portuguese winger who is currently shining at AC Milan, as reported by SPORT.

According to a report from Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg, Nico Williams has spurned both Bayern Munich and FC Barcelona in favor of a mega contract extension with Athletic Bilbao: BREAKING | Nico #Williams has signed a new contract with @AthleticClub until 2035!

Nico Williams does not belong at Barcelona for a variety of reasons. It’s clear now, with the benefit of hindsight, that he is an Athletic Club man through and through, just like his brother Iñaki. And that’s actually quite a nice thing for the game.
