Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney warned England about the threat Spain possess on their flanks ahead of the European Championship finak=l.
He carried the form into the European Championships and has been one of the best players in the competition, earning himself plaudits and suitors. His performance forced Barcelona to up the priority of the move, with other clubs waiting on the prowl.
Barcelona to move next week
Despite the noise surrounding his future as a result of his sustained brilliance at the European Championships, Williams has remained level-headed and has stated that he will not entertain transfer talks until after the competition.
Although Barcelona have made initial contact with his agent, a report from Matteo Moretto claims that the Blaugrana will wait until next week to reach a “definitive agreement on personal terms,” when the Euros would have ended.
