Barcelona sporting director, Deco, has warned that they are not a club for friends.
Deco was speaking about a possible move for Athletic Bilbaos Nico Williams.
Williams is believed to have agreed a six-year deal with Barca already and is now waiting for the negotiations between both LaLiga teams.
According to Deco, the 22-year-olds name was already on their list last summer.
He however said the friendship between Williams and Lamine Yamal is only a bonus.
