Nico Williams, the 21-year-old Spanish-Ghanaian winger for Athletic Bilbao, has emerged as a prime target for Chelsea, Bayern Munich, and several others, according to exclusive reports from TEAMtalk.
What sets Williams apart, besides his impressive performances on the pitch, is his unique background: he holds dual citizenship of Spain and Ghana.
Despite signing a new contract with Athletic Bilbao in December, sources suggest that Williams is poised to depart the club at the end of the season. His stellar form, marked by three goals and seven assists in 22 LaLiga appearances this campaign, has not gone unnoticed by top scouts. According to Transfermarkt his current market value estimates at €50 million.
Clubs are particularly drawn to Williams due to his relatively modest release clause of €50 million, with potential performance-related bonuses further sweetening the deal. Chelsea, Bayern Munich, and Tottenham are among the frontrunners for his signature, each eager to bolster their attacking options.
Chelsea’s long-term interest in Williams is well-documented, with the club actively monitoring his progress through multiple scouting missions. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich seeks to revamp their squad following a disappointing season, eyeing Williams as a potential catalyst for change.
Tottenham, under the stewardship of Ange Postecoglou, are also keen on securing Williams’ services, enticed by his bargain release clause and the promise of Champions League qualification.
As Williams’ final season with Athletic Bilbao unfolds, the race for his signature intensifies, with the talented winger poised to make a significant impact wherever he lands.
