Bayern Munich have made Nico Williams their primary target for the summer transfer window, as the Bundesliga giants look to strengthen their attack with one of La Liga’s brightest talents. The German club has already held two meetings with the player’s representatives in recent weeks, with additional discussions planned in the near future.
The 21-year-old Spanish international has impressed with his performances for both Athletic Club and the national team, drawing the attention of several top European sides. Arsenal are also closely monitoring Williams and consider him a serious option, but no concrete progress has been made yet due to the player's salary expectations.
Williams’ contract with Athletic Club includes a €58 million release clause, which makes the deal financially accessible for elite clubs. However, the winger's wage demands are currently seen as a significant obstacle that could influence the outcome of negotiations.
In the meantime, Athletic Club are preparing to offer a new contract extension, hoping to convince the player to stay in Bilbao for at least another season. While Bayern lead the race at this stage, the situation remains open as Williams weighs his options.
With the transfer window heating up, the coming weeks will be crucial in determining whether Williams will take the next step in his career — in Germany, England, or by remaining in Spain.
