Barcelona are keeping close tabs on Nico Williams after Athletic Bilbao confirmed the winger’s €62 million release clause.
The Catalan club sees the Spanish-Ghanaian star as the perfect fit for their left wing and are pushing for clarity on his future ahead of the summer transfer window.
Williams, 22, has had a good season with Athletic, recording five goals and five assists in 27 La Liga appearances. His latest strike came in Sunday’s clash against Rayo Vallecano, underlining his growing influence.
Reports from Diario Sport say Barcelona remain keen on the talented attacker. With Ansu Fati likely to exit this summer, the door could open for Williams both financially and tactically at Camp Nou.
Although English sides like Arsenal and Chelsea have also shown interest, Williams is expected to stay in Spain a factor that could tip the scale in Barcelona’s favor.
Barcelona’s next move depends on the player’s decision, but all signs point to a summer full of transfer rumors around one of La Liga’s brightest young stars.
