According to renowned transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, the Spanish international has agreed to a six-year contract that will keep him at the Camp Nou until June 2031. The deal reportedly includes a lucrative salary package worth €7–8 million net per season, reflecting Barcelona’s confidence in the 21-year-old’s rising potential.

While the personal terms are already sealed, the next hurdle for Barcelona is to negotiate a financial agreement with Athletic Bilbao to finalize the transfer. Williams, who has been in stellar form for both club and country, is considered one of Spain’s most exciting young talents.
