The 'big' of the Premier who would be willing to try to sign Nico Williams

The name of Nico Williams continues to generate more debate in various sectors, why? The left winger of Athletic Club seems to be less certain about his continuity in the Basque team for the upcoming season. Being a top asset in the international sports scene, the question that arises is: if he leaves next summer, which team will add the Pamplona winger to their ranks?

This situation does not seem entirely clear. However, what is clear is that the younger of the Williams brothers is of interest to several 'top' teams on the continent. Beyond the interest of FC Barcelona, which came close to signing the forward last summer and seems to be the favorite if Nico decides to leave the Basque team, there are also other teams willing to compete for him, such as Juventus from Turin.

Arsenal Reportedly Interested in Nico Williams

Now, the desire of another club from the Premier League to incorporate Nico Williams has been revealed. According to reports on the English website 'TEAMtalk', it wouldn't be far-fetched for Arsenal to make an offer for the Pamplona player. The 'Gunners' might not even wait until the end of the 2024/25 season, as they could try to sign him in the January winter market, considering him a top priority.

"They are interested in bolstering their wings more, and sources have been suggesting they are still closely monitoring Spanish winger Nico Williams. The Athletic man was highly sought after in the summer but stayed in LaLiga," TEAMtalk reports.

In this context, it will be important to see what the terms of departure for Nico Williams would be, who is under contract with Athletic Club until 2027. So far, with no changes in his contract situation, everything points towards his release clause remaining at €58 million, plus an adjustment for inflation (an additional €4 million). A sum that a 'big' team might find attractive.

Will Barcelona Make a Move for Nico Williams?

On the other hand, if FC Barcelona decides to launch an offensive for Nico Williams, it will need to be considered whether the interest in the forward remains as strong as it was before, given that Barcelona has shown it can operate without the Pamplona player, currently boasting one of the most prominent offensive fronts in Europe. While it's clear that adding the left winger would bring a quality boost to the Catalan team, it would be a financially complex transaction to finalize, although not impossible.
