According to Mundo Deportivo, Liverpool has apparently set a target on athletic Bilbao star Nico Williams this summer.

 

Although the twenty-one-year-old was previously seen as one of the most fascinating young prospects in Europe, his stock has increased even more after his outstanding performance at the European Championships.

News: Liverpool is preferred; they will pay “higher salary” than Barca to get £25.4 million midfielder.

Following his impressive performance against Italy, he scored a great goal against Georgia last night, therefore enabling his country to go to Euro 2024’s quarterfinals.

Now Spain will square off against Germany, and everyone will be watching the Athletic Bilbao star to see how he does against a top side.

 
Several prestigious European clubs including Liverpool among those aiming for a deal for Williams have taken notice of his recent spectacular exploits.

 

The young player’s present deal with the Basque club has a £49.3m[€58m] release clause; thus, don’t want to allow the winger depart for anything less than that. Should the Spaniard thus be acquired by the Reds, he will not be a cheap signing for them.

 
But MD add that Chelsea and Barcelona are also eager to have his signature signed with Williams reported to be open for joining the Blaugrana. Liverpool could thus find it challenging to negotiate this agreement by surpassing their opponents.

 

Williams is a great prospect because of his pace and dribbling ability; it is practically inevitable that he will develop into a top-class winger in the future. Therefore, a major coup may be achieved if Liverpool can entice him to Anfield.
