Openings of interest from several of the largest clubs on the continent aside, the Spanish international would rather join the Catalan giants.
Clubs who are interested in signing the winger are all cognizant that his first preference is Barça, and that any proposal—howsoever big it may be—is bound to be rejected for his first choice.
The 21-year-old has reportedly informed both his agent and Barcelona administration that he would be willing to take a pay reduction to ensure the deal goes through.
Despite better financially endowed offers, including a serious one from Premier League club Arsenal, Nico is ready to hold on as long as Barcelona takes to make their offer.

The Basque squad has left their offer on the table: "If you want Nico Williams, pay the release clause."
The release clause, set at €58 million, has to be paid in full—no haggling and no discounts.
Now it's Barcelona's turn.
