Barcelona, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool Eyeing Athletic Bilbao Star Nico Williams After Euro 2024 Triumph
Nico Williams has emerged as a top target for European giants Barcelona, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool following his standout performances in Euro 2024 where he played a key role in Spain‘s triumph.
Playing under coach Luis de la Fuente, Williams shone alongside young talent like Lamine Yamal, showcasing his abilities with a crucial goal in the final against England.
Barcelona, in particular, are heavily linked with the 21-year-old winger, aiming to reunite him with his international teammate at the club in LaLiga.
The LaLiga president, Javier Tebas, has confirmed Barcelona’s interest in Williams, pointing out the release clause in his contract as a potential avenue for the transfer.
Arsenal and Chelsea have also shown keen interest in Williams, with Arsenal eyeing a new left-winger to bolster their attacking options while Chelsea could make room for him by trimming their squad.
Despite interest from multiple clubs, Liverpool’s pursuit of Williams could face hurdles due to financial constraints and existing depth in the left-wing position.
Athletic Bilbao remains steadfast in their desire to retain Williams, showcasing their commitment to holding onto key players from their academy like Oihan Sancet, Benat Prados, and others.
