Bayern Munich are refusing to back down in their pursuit of Nico Williams, despite strong interest from Barcelona.
The German champions are stepping up efforts to land the Athletic Bilbao winger as a long-term replacement for Leroy Sane.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Williams now has the green light to join Barcelona, but the Catalan giants still face hurdles. Though a recent meeting was “very positive,” the financial demands—both in terms of salary and transfer fee, are proving complex. Barcelona must also weigh other winger options before making a final call.
This uncertainty has opened a window for Bayern. In the past week, they’ve held two direct talks with Williams’ representatives, showing serious intent. Bayern see the 22-year-old as a crucial addition to their evolving squad and are eager to convince him with their long-term vision.
Meanwhile, Arsenal remain in the picture, keeping communication lines open as they monitor the situation. With the summer window heating up, Williams’ next move could define the market.
