Barcelona: Will the trident of Yamal, Lewandowski and Williams succeed?

There is excitement among Barcelona fans about the potential signing of Neco Williams, who would form a promising attack alongside Lamine Yamal and Lewandowski.

There is a fantasy among Barcelona fans: the possibility of signing striker Neco Williams, who recently won the European Cup with Spain and put in a great performance.

The 22-year-old, who belongs to Athletic Bilbao, is known to be wanted by several clubs, including El Celta, who intend to reunite him with Lamine Yamal, the jewel of Barcelona who also shone in the last Euro and with whom Nico maintains a great friendship.

Williams’ release clause is around €60m, and at the time Barcelona president Joan Laporta confirmed they were in a position to sign the winger, raising fans’ hopes.

In the midst of this panorama, the following questions arise: How will Barcelona play if he is signed and to what extent will its offensive power grow?

There is no doubt that the trio of Lamine Yamal, Robert Lewandowski and Nico Williams, on paper at least, looks impressive. There is no bigger secret, the skilled and young strikers will play close to the flank, Lamine on the right and Nico on the left, to feed the ball to the veteran who retains his nose for goals.

This formula worked in Spain with coach Luis de la Fuente, who took advantage of the young players, who not only helped Álvaro Morata, the main striker, but were also able to score and even combine from wing to wing to score. The result was 1-0 in the final against England.

The group of newly arrived strategists Hansi Flick will be increased, since it also includes the Brazilian Rafinha, who also plays near the wing, and it remains to be determined whether elements such as Ferran Torres and Vitor Roque will remain in the team. Without forgetting the return of Ansu Fati, the level he can show after a year on loan at Brighton in the Premier League is a mystery.

There will be crucial weeks to see if FC Barcelona can bring together the “children’s sensation” in Spain. Meanwhile, a potential trident looks promising on the table.
