Oshoala hinted at the winger's next destination with a post on social media after his starring role in the Round of 16 match against Georgia.

She posted: "Nico to Barca... Here we go."

Nico Williams to make decision after Euros

The Nigerian, who left the women's team of the Spanish club at the beginning of the year remains a staunch supporter and hopes Williams will join the Catalans ahead of the 2024/25 season.

Meanwhile, Williams is expected to make a decision about his future at the end of the tournament despite having three years remaining on his current deal with Athletic Bilbao.

Last season, the 21-year-old and his brother Inaki Williams led the Basque-based club to their first Copa Del Rey title in 40 years, with Nico winning the Man of the Match in the final against Real Mallorca, as reported by the BBC.

Spain will next face host Germany in the quarter-final of the competition on Friday, July 5, 2024.

Inaki Williams celebrates Nico after Spain win

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Ghana forward Inaki Williams was full of praise for Nico Williams after another impressive display as Spain eased part Georgia in the Round of 16 at Euro 2024.

Nico scored a sensational goal, his first at the European Championship, as the former champions came from a goal down to beat Georgia 4-1 on Sunday, June 30, at the RheinEnergieStadion.

The Athletic Bilbao took the ball from the halfway line before out-pacing his marker with a cheeky skill and then firing Spain's third with 15 minutes remaining.
