This summer transfer window, Athletic Club's Nico Williams' have been linked to various top clubs such as Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham, Barcelona, and Paris Saint-Germain.
Fabrice Hawkins of RMC Sport recently reported that PSG are working on negotiating personal terms with Williams.
Moreover, journalist Daniel Riolo reports that the Parisians' have made signing Williams their top priority. With manager Luis Enrique playing a key role in persuading the player, the transfer is highly likely to go through.
However, Mundo Deportivo reports that this saga might be ending with no departure. According to Fernando Polo, at Barca, they're acknowledging that Nico Williams' situation is becoming complicated.
The UEFA Euro 2024 winner is thinking about staying with Athletic Club and renewing his contract, which would increase his release clause to EUR100 million. As a result, the clubs keen on the player might have to look at alternative targets.
