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.

Super Eagles playmaker, Alex Iwobi, has admitted they are waiting to see if the team would still play at the 2026 World Cup.

The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, is optimistic of a potential lifeline from FIFA, after it submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Iwobi was asked by SuperSport if he would rather lift the AFCON 2025 trophy or qualify for the World Cup?

The 29-year-old, who played at the 2018 of the World Cup, replied: “I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.

“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have like in your career, a memorable moment.

“But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been. They would like to say ‘I want to go to the World Cup,’ so I can’t be selfish and say win the AFCON and for my teammates to not go to the World Cup. So it’s a tough one. I don’t know. I don’t know.”
