Nico's potential Barca switch has of course dominated the headlines across all of Spain over the course of the day to date.
This comes after widespread confirmation was forthcoming that the 22-year-old has reached an agreement with the Blaugrana on the terms of a contract for next season.
And likely to have proven a central factor in as much, as alluded to above, was a phone call on the part of both Hansi Flick, and Deco.
As revealed by El Chiringuito TV, after convening on the island of Ibiza this week:
'Deco and Flick called Nico Williams.
'It was at a meeting to plan the season in which they also talked about more arrivals and departures.'

Scott nets first goal for Young Lions as England progress despite Germany defeat
CHERRIES midfielder Alex Scott scored his first goal for the England U21s as the Young Lions scraped into the quarterfinals of the European Championships. The defending champions were beaten 2-1 by Germany on Wednesday night. Trailing 2-0 at the break after a poor performance, a much improved second half saw Scott score his first goal for the Young Lions, although it was not enough to spark a comeback. Excellent work by Omari Hutchinson on the left wing saw the Ipswich man dance his way past his marker and get to the byline, cutting the ball across the six yard box for Scott to finish from close range. Scott is still playing with a partial face mask over his jaw, after an elbow from Tyrone Mings fractured it and forced him to have surgery. England will now face Spain in the quarterfinals after finishing behind the Germans in Group B, thanks to one win and a draw to go with the defeat. The Czech Republic's 2-0 win over Slovenia meant the defeat did not knock the Young Lions out of the tournament, but improvement is needed from Lee Carsley's side if they are to defend their title.

Juventus holding talks in swap deal for Nayef Aguerd
Serie A giants Juventus are interested in signing West Ham centre-back Nayef Aguerd in the summer transfer window. Gianluca di Marzio has reported that the defender is being closely monitored by the Bianconeri, having spent the previous season on loan at Real Sociedad. Advertisement Juve have already made contact with West Ham over a move and the two parties are talking to each other about the feasibility of a move. The deal can potentially include Daniele Rugani and it can take the form of a swap. The move is only in an initial phase and it can evolve in the next few days, depending on how the talks go. It is clear that the Morocco international is an important target for Juve, who are looking to bolster their backline and can lose more than one centre-back this summer. Rugani spent the previous season on loan at Ajax and is already back with the Juve squad. Kaustubh Pandey I GIFN

WATCH: Axel Witsel doubles Atletico Madrid's lead over Seattle Sounders
Atletico Madrid on course for their first points of the 2025 Club World Cup against Seattle Sounders, having gone 2-0 up over the MLS side. Diego Simeone's side were thrashed 4-0 by European champions Paris Saint-Germain in their opening match, so a bounce-back is needed against Seattle. And they had an excellent start after scoring in the 11th minute courtesy of midfielder Pablo Barrios. Advertisement Goal number two has now arrived for Atleti, coming just minutes into the second half. And it is Axel Witsel, who was introduced at the interval by Simeone, that has netted his side's second of the evening. Marcos Llorente was very unlucky not to score, but Witsel made sure that Atleti got the goal they needed to double their advantage. Breathing space has now been installed, and Simeone will hope that his side are able to see out proceedings without any complications arising. If so, it would be a confidence-boosting victory for Los Colchoneros.
