Nico Williams seems to have his days numbered at Athletic Club. Although the ‘lions’ are in Champions League positions for next season<\/strong>, the insistence of Chelsea and Arsenal on his signing could take the Spanish international to the Premier League this summer.<\/p>

The latest information points to the two London giants as the most likely destinations for the Bilbao ’10’, after the rumors about his possible signing for FC Barcelona<\/a> have cooled considerably in recent weeks.<\/p>

The great season of the azulgrana team has put aside the immediate need to go for a left winger. On the contrary, the focus in terms of reinforcements points more to the defense, without a doubt the team’s weak point in 24\/25<\/a> <\/strong>(the cul\u00e9s have conceded 69 goals in 57 games).<\/p>

In principle, it is likely that Arsenal and Chelsea will seek to keep Nico with a salary close to 15 million euros gross per season<\/strong>, according to the latest information leaked by English media.<\/p>

\u26bdNico Williams has his days numbered at Athletic, and in LaLiga?<\/h2>

Nico Williams, in a match with Athletic Club<\/div> <\/div> <\/div>

The harsh disappointment of being eliminated in the ‘semis’ of the Europa League against Manchester United (5-1 on aggregate) seems to be the definitive push for the younger of the Williams to leave San Mam\u00e9s this summer.<\/p>

For now, his release clause remains at 60 million euros<\/strong> and the winger will have full freedom to decide where he wants to continue his career.<\/p>

Without recent approaches with the Bar\u00e7a board, everything points to Nico leaving for England, with a mega contract<\/strong> that will make him one of the highest paid forwards in the Premier League.<\/p>

In 24\/25, his records were quite discreet, with 11 goals and 7 assists in 44 games<\/strong>. This performance, added to his “no” to Barcelona last summer, distanced the player from Pamplona from the azulgrana team. In the first weeks of June, his departure from Athletic and, almost certainly, from LaLiga is likely to be finalized.<\/p>
