Bayern Munich have joined Chelsea and Tottenham in pursuit of Nico Williams amid his achievable release clause.
According to Team Talk, Bayern Munich are willing to battle Chelsea, Tottenham, and other rivals for the signature of Nico Williams. The £43 million-rated Spanish international has a decent release clause in his Athletic Club contract, as the winger could leave the club this summer.
Bayern Munich enters Nico Williams’s chase
Nico Williams has emerged as one of the promising talents out of Spain and is finally making his mark on La Liga this season. The Athletic Club star could leave the club in the summer despite signing a new contract around January, which secured the La Liga club and did not put them in danger of losing him for free.
The £43 million-rated Spanish international’s release clause is the most attractive aspect as he is a talent that can further develop into a world-class star. Bayern Munich sees this as an opportunity and makes their presence felt in the race for Williams.
The Spanish winger has a huge ceiling, and Bayern could view him as a long-term replacement for Leroy Sane, Serge Gnabry, or the injury-prone Kingsley Coman. Either way, the Spaniard could add significant value to their squad, and his release clause makes him an achievable target.
The £43 million-rated Spanish international’s price could increase further due to performance-related add-ons, which could still be acceptable. Snapping up one of the finest talents in La Liga could be seen as a significant coup by Bayern, although they face tremendous competition from Premier League sides.
Tottenham Chelsea keen on Williams
In January, Aston Villa tried signing Williams, only for the winger to sign a new deal. Chelsea are one of the sides keen on the Athletic Club star, while Tottenham are also interested in signing him. Spurs could let go of Timo Werner and bring Williams instead, while the Blues are struggling on an excellent left-winger.
Both London giants face competition from Arsenal, who are keen on the Spaniard. Either way, there’s a big tussle brewing for the Athletic Club star in the background, with Bayern having the chance of signing him should all conditions favor a transfer.
