Athletic Club star Nico Williams is one of the biggest talents in Europe at the moment. The 21-year-old has attracted interest of various big clubs across the continent despite the fact he renew his deal late last year.Williams’ release clause is around €55m, and Marca reports that Bilbao have allegedly rejected two approaches for Williams, telling the clubs in question that there will be no negotiations, and only his release clause paid in full will see him leave the club. ##NAJAVA_MECA_8103897##One of those clubs is definitely Barcelona, who have been heavily linked with Williams for quite some time. However, their chances of signing him are apparently ‘impossible’, due to severe financial issues.🚨 Xavi is obsessed with Nico Williams and considers him a priority target to reinforce the team in the summer. Once the new pivot is signed, the club will go after Nico. @alexpintanel 🇪🇦 pic.twitter.com/OEKWVLq3Lu— barcacentre (@barcacentre) May 16, 2024 Nico was also target for Aston Villa last years, as the Villains offered to pay his release clause and double his salary, but he decided to stay.
