The Two Teams Threatening to Snatch Nico Williams from Barcelona
Nico Williams could reach the Premier League and not Barcelona.
Barcelona dreams of signing the 22-year-old Spanish star of the Eurocup, but they are running out of time. Although the player wants to join Barça, several big European teams are also interested in signing the Athletic Club player.
According to “The Athletic,” Chelsea and Arsenal are the two teams strongly interested in the Spanish player, who currently has a release clause of 58 million euros (63.2 million dollars). Chelsea has made it clear that Williams is their priority, as confirmed by their new coach, Enzo Maresca.
On the other hand, Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal also dreams of bolstering their attack with the Spaniard. However, both Chelsea and Arsenal will need to offload some players to comply with financial fair play, a situation similar to Barcelona’s, where there are rumors of possible exits for Raphinha and De Jong.
