Nico Williams was reportedly a target for Liverpool last summer.
There was a rush to sign the Spain winger after he had an incredible Euro 2024.
Williams has a tantalizing €58 million release clause in his Athletic Club contract, but it is acknowledged that his demands for pay would be quite high if he were to leave the Basque Country.
Barcelona reportedly expressed interest in the 22-year-old as well, but the struggling Catalans chose to keep out of the running due to financial concerns.
Even though his play hasn’t been as impressive this season as it was at the Euros, Williams eventually stayed with Athletic. Despite having just one goal and three assists in 17 La Liga games, he still has a ton of untapped potential.
According to a recent rumor, Liverpool is one of the front-runners to recruit Williams, who reportedly views his future in the Premier League rather than Spain.
Williams is a great bargain to Liverpool.
FSG and sporting director Richard Hughes have the opportunity to rekindle their interest in the wide player after David Ornstein claimed Liverpool made an attempt to sign him last summer.
Anfield is becoming increasingly excited that Williams might be a target in the summer, according to Rousing the Kop. The Reds would have to contend with Chelsea, Manchester City, and Arsenal for the forward, but club executives consider his asking price to be “fantastic” value.
Furthermore, Nico is reportedly now certain that the Premier League is where his future lays now that Barcelona is out of the running.
Any agreement for Williams would not depend on the outcome of Mohamed Salah’s contract, which expires in the summer of 2025.
Teams in the Saudi Pro League are vying for Nunez’s services, and Liverpool has already looked for alternatives. The club may need to trade Diaz before his worth drastically declines because he is reported to be dissatisfied with his present contract.
Chiesa, on the other hand, is unlikely to be released on loan this winter, but given his troubles on Merseyside, he may be open to a permanent move.
Williams’ current contract, which was extended in 2023, is valid until 2027.
