Nico Williams has become one of the most exciting wingers in LaLiga, especially after his amazing performances at the 2024 European Championship with Spain. His speed, dribbling skills, and ability to get past defenders have made him a target for top European teams. Currently, he has a contract with Athletic Bilbao that lasts until the summer of 2027, and it has a release clause estimated between €58m and €60m, although some reports say it could be as high as €80m.
FC Bayern Munich is very interested in signing Williams, with many sources confirming their interest. Recent news shows that Bayern is ready to compete with Barcelona to get him and is willing to activate his release clause. Additionally, Bayern has stepped up discussions recently, especially as they look for an alternative to Bradley Barcola, making Williams a key target.
Williams is not just on Bayern’s radar, he is also attracting attention from other big clubs. Arsenal is currently in the lead, while Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain are also keeping a close eye on him. This competition could make it harder for Bayern to sign him, especially with the high transfer fee and salary expectations. Barcelona’s interest, as reported by several sources, adds more pressure, with Williams said to prefer a move to a club that offers star treatment.
