In an unprecedented show of support, Barcelona fans have taken to TikTok to raise funds for the club’s pursuit of highly-coveted Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams.
The 22-year-old sensation has become a top transfer target for European powerhouses following his impressive performance at the European Championship, where he scored two goals, including the opener in Spain’s 2-1 victory over England in the final.
Barcelona fans have been contributing symbolic amounts of money to the club’s official TikTok account, with comments such as “Sign Nico”, “We 100% need Nico”, and “For Nico Williams” accompanying their donations.
While the amounts range from 5 cents to 1 Euro, the initiative demonstrates the enthusiasm and dedication of the Barcelona faithful.
The donations, labeled as “rewards” on TikTok, may not substantially impact the transfer, but they represent a heartfelt expression of support from the fans.
According to Transfermarkt, Williams’ current market value stands at 70 million euros ($76.29 million), while the Spanish press has reported that Athletic Bilbao has set his release fee at 58 million euros.
