Interest in Nico Williams, who will compete at Euro 2024, has increased, and he has already chosen his team.

Germany has been a shining example for the Spanish winger. He scored a goal and assisted on another in the 4-1 triumph over Georgia.

 

Spain advanced to the quarterfinals, where they will face the hosts, Germany, thanks to that victory. Interest in Williams’ services has increased as a result of his remarkable performance at the event.

Several Premier League clubs have expressed interest in signing him, including Chelsea and Liverpool. The Blues have reportedly gone so far as to use a middleman to make an approach, according to Spanish news outlet Sport.\But word on the street is that Barcelona is Williams’ favorite. It doesn’t rule out Chelsea pursuing the wide receiver, either.

The Athletic Bilbao forward may be out of Barcelona’s price range because of the club’s current financial crisis. A word of caution to Chelsea: be patient while they negotiate.

Chelsea is allegedly prepared to pay the €55 million (£46.5 million) release clause in Williams’ Spanish contract. The 21-year-old’s transfer cost could be anywhere from €15 million (£12.7 million) to €20 million (£16.9 million) offered by Enzo Maresca’s club.

Williams’ contract with Bilbao is up for three more years. Even if more and more people are interested in hiring him, he is keeping his mind on the job at hand during the Euros.Anything positive that comes from the outside indicates that I’m doing a good job, he stated last week. Getting noticed by large clubs is every kid’s goal.

“Right now I’m completely disengaged; once the European Championship is over, I’ll figure out what happens next.”

Yamine Lamal, with whom he is currently playing for Spain, has encouraged him to pursue a transfer to Barcelona. “We get along very well, and you can see that on the pitch too. We are very close, that we are good friends, and that is the most important thing to have the connection on the pitch,” he stated. To have Nico visit Barca would be wonderful.

Also providing an update on Williams’ future, Athletic Bilbao president Jon Uriarte is certain that the player is not seeking a transfer. “We have impressive talent in the squad,” he added, as quoted by TribalFootball.We are not here to discuss rumors, but it is natural that some players attract attention when circumstances are this way. We are overjoyed that Nico has found happiness in Bilbao and Athletic.

We are unconcerned with and uninterested in rumors. Developing a compelling project for each and every one of our players, challenging for championships, and competing on a European stage are our top priorities.
