Report: Two Premier League Clubs Drop Out Of Chase For Athletic Bilbao Star In Big Boost To Barcelona’s Transfer Ambition
Nico Williams’ summer transfer is heating up and the young star of Athletic Bilbao has attracted interest from the Premier League, but his hefty price tag and wage demands are causing some teams to cool down.
More Details
While Premier League clubs have the financial muscle, Barcelona sees Williams as a key target. However, his €60 million release clause combined with Barcelona’s financial struggles make a deal unlikely.
Reports suggest both Chelsea and Aston Villa initially expressed interest, but Williams’ reported €200,000 weekly wage demands have scared them away.
With two potential suitors out of the picture, Athletic Club can breathe a sigh of relief. Barcelona might also be happy to see their competition dwindle.
