New twist in Nico Williams case

Nico Williams has agreed to take a pay cut to move to a bigger club in the summer transfer window of 2025.

Williams is willing to take a pay cut.

According to Mail Sport , the 22-year-old winger is in talks with Arsenal, Barcelona and Bayern Munich, revealing the possibility of leaving Athletic Bilbao. After shining at Euro 2024 with Spain, Williams affirmed himself as one of the most promising wingers in the world .

Williams currently has a release clause of 58 million euros. The Bilbao striker has demanded a salary of more than 10 million euros/year, equal to or higher than the income this player is receiving at his home team.

Williams' salary demands have made many top European clubs wary. Barcelona even considered pulling out of the deal when they couldn't meet the player's salary. However, after Williams suggested a pay cut this summer, negotiations between him and the Catalan club resumed.

Williams was once the player Barca wanted to own the most in the summer transfer window of 2024. The Euro 2024 champion's decline in form after that made many big teams gradually lose interest in recruiting.

In the 2024/25 season, Nico Williams did not play as explosively as when he helped Spain win Euro 2024. After 45 appearances in all competitions, Williams only had 11 goals. However, with his potential and the latest move to be willing to reduce his salary, Williams is still a name that many big clubs are eyeing. Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Liverpool are still closely monitoring Williams' situation.
