JAKARTA - Barcelona fans have donated some symbolic money to the club's official TikTok account in an effort to support the LaLiga team getting the Spanish national team striker Nico Williams' signature. The 22-year-old Athletic Bilbao winger is the main target of transferring Europe's top clubs after his impressive performance in a seven-match victory in the 2024 European Cup.

Williams, who scored two goals including the opening goal in Spain's 2-1 win over England in the final, demonstrated a promising partnership with Barcelona forward Lamine Yamal, who was named the tournament's best young player.

Barcelona fans are now enthusiastically pushing the Yamal-Williams attacking duo while sending funding to Catalan clubs that have faced financial challenges in recent times.

Comments such as "Tandangan Nico", "We 100% need Nico", and "For Nico Williams" are in the spotlight in TikTok Barcelona's latest video with the donations included.

According to Transfermarkt, Williams' current market value is 70 million euros (approximately 1,123 billion rupiah), while Spanish press reports that Athletic sets a release fee of 58 million euros (approximately 938 million rupiah).

Despite Barca fans' goodwill, donations labeled as "gifts" on TikTok will not help the club much because they range from 5 cents to one euro (around 807 to 16,177 rupiah), while the social network actually takes most of the funds.

Barcelona, who finished second in LaLiga and were knocked out of the Champions League in the quarter-finals last season, have yet to sign a new player during this summer's transfer window.
