Arsenal Makes a Move: Nico Williams, Their Major Target for the Summer

FC Barcelona continues in search of a left winger to strengthen their attack for the upcoming season. Once back under the 1:1 rule and with the possibility to move freely in the transfer market, the Catalans hope to incorporate a top-level 'star' in this area of the field, and several names make up the 'casting' of the sports management.

Aside from established stars like Rafael Leao or Luis Díaz, as well as promising 'gems' like Geovany Quenda, the figure of Nico Williams remains present in the offices of Spotify Camp Nou. Although the situation is vastly different from last summer's window, the Catalans' interest in the Navarrese player has not dissipated and remains an option for the attack, although his signing could be increasingly distant.

Arsenal Pushes for Nico Williams

According to the portal 'Football Transfers', Arsenal has marked the signing of the Athletic Club player as a priority for next summer. Mikel Arteta has expressly requested the arrival of the forward, and the 'gunners' are willing to fulfill the coach's request, making a significant financial effort to secure the player.

Nico's release clause, as of today, is still valued at 60 million euros, a figure that the Bilbao club refers to in order to let him go. However, if the player improves his contract in the coming months, it could rise to 100 'kilos', although as of now, there are no significant movements regarding this.

Thus, the only certainty surrounding Williams' future is that in the Premier League, especially from the Emirates Stadium, they will push to secure his registration, and at Can Barça, they will soon have to decide whether to pursue the signing of the winger or focus on another figure.
