FC Barcelona fans are paying attention to the Spanish national team at the EUROS as Lamine Yamal and Pedri are shining in the tournament. The Barca fans are also looking at Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams, who is arguably one of the best players in the tournament. FC Barcelona wants to sign the Spanish winger, and even Yamal wants the Catalan club to sign him. Yamal said, "I want to play with Nico Williams next season. Playing with Nico at Barça? Of course, whoever your friend is, everyone would like to play with their friends on their team, and hopefully so." It will be a difficult deal for the club to get done, and now Barcelona has eyes on a player who could be the other option instead of Williams this summer. According to Marcos Benito from El Chiringuito TV, Maximiliano Araujo from Toluca FC is the plan B of FC Barcelona this summer in case they can't sign Nico Williams. His release clause in Toluca is worth around $20 million, which is a cheaper option than Williams.
Maxi Araujo is an exciting young player from Uruguay who is a shining star in the Copa America. He started for Uruguay in the first match of their group stage, where he scored one of the best goals of the tournament. Uruguay defeated Panama 3-1 in their first match of the tournament. In the second group stage match, Uruguay defeated Bolivia 5-0, and Araujo grabbed a goal and provided an assist. In the match vs. USA, Araujo played for 27 minutes after he got injured and was replaced by Cristian Olivera.
Araujo is often played as a left-back for Toluca in the Liga MX. The Mexican club started to play him as a left winger, but during his time at the Uruguayan national team, he was used more as an attacking player. Other clubs, apart from FC Barcelona, have started to be interested in him.
Lamine Yamal wants Nico Williams to join Barcelona but he reveals that the player is very happy at his current club. Yamal said, "Nico Williams tells me that he is very happy at Athletic Club. He has a contract there, it's his team. What more should he tell me? He's very happy there and it shows."
