Bayern Munich does not give up in the race tight to the transfer of Nico Williams, the target of FC Barcelona this summer.
The Catalans have renewed their longtime interest for the very promising Spanish international, after having failed to make him leave Bilbao in 2024.
Despite a failure 12 months ago, Williams remaining determined to stay in the Basque Country, Barcelona is not discouraged in his race for the 22 -year -old.
However, an agreement is still far from being concluded, the Athletic Club being ready to accept all of its release clause of 51 million pounds Sterling (58 million euros) at the San Mamés stadium.
Nico Williams-Barça: Towards a decisive outcome
The club president, Joan Laporta, confirmed that the club would pay the Williams clause, the Athletic Club wishing nothing less.
Delays in the last details continue to fear a break from the Blaugrana, which are targeting a structured offer.
This proposal will be rejected, and the latest details could still have the agreement to the agreement, despite the clear indications of Williams concerning his wish to join the Hansi Flick team for the 2025/26 season.
This short opportunity window keeps Bayern Munich in the race, Williams being considered the option favored by Vincent Kompany to join his team.
Can Bayern Munich beat Barcelona in the race for Nico Williams?
The chances are in favor of Barcelona – because Williams wishes the transfer – and Barcelona should have the financial means to conclude an agreement.
However, Laporta and Barcelona always apply a transfer policy to 1 against 1, and any sign of failure of negotiations would trigger the alarm in Bavaria.
According to Christian Falk, an expert in the Bundesliga, Williams remains on the Allianz Arena agenda, Bayern Munich has failed to convince Jamie Gittens to join him from Borussia Dortmund.
Gittens seems to be on the right track to join Chelsea next month and this means that Kompany will watch to see if Barcelona fails in the Williams affair.
