Barcelona president Joan Laporta is reported to have taken control of the club's pursuit of Athletic Club winger Nico Williams, refusing to accept defeat in the transfer saga.
The latest report from SPORT suggests that Laporta won't take no for an answer and has pushed sporting director Deco aside to re-engage with Williams, believing a deal is still possible if talks are conducted in a particular way.
Joan Laporta is tipped to lean on a thinly veiled threat to the Williams camp that this is a one-time offer and the chance to join Barcelona will not come around again.
Barcelona could offer Williams a five-year contract worth 12m (before tax) per season, a considerable improvement on his current salary, as Laporta aims to secure the player.
