FC Bayern is chasing Nico Williams: 60 million for the star wing!
The Munich tabloids are buzzing with rumors: FC Bayern Munich apparently has their eye on the young Spanish winger Nico Williams from Athletic Bilbao. How merkur.de reports, Williams is at the top of the wish list of Max Eberl, the club's sports director. The 22-year-old has a release clause of an impressive 60 million euros and recently shone not only in the national team, where he scored against England in the European Championship final, but also in a high-class game against France, in which he scored a goal and provided an assist.
FC Bayern is looking for reinforcements for the offensive, especially after the rejection of Florian Wirtz. Williams is a promising candidate who has the required qualities – speed, goal threat and technical finesse. How ran.de As noted, Williams could be a long-term solution for Bayern's offense, especially given the team's current challenges.
Open questions and high hurdles
Despite Williams' athleticism, there are some hurdles to overcome. Athletic Bilbao seem reluctant to let their star go, which has already led to confusion about the €60 million clause. In addition, the player's salary demands are high, as the traditional Spanish club plans to extend his contract and increase his salary to around 10 million euros net per year. The negotiations could be anything but easy.
If Bayern looks in other directions, well-known alternatives are also on the radar, including players like Rafael Leao, Kaoru Mitoma or Cody Gakpo, who, however, do not seem to offer quite the potential as Williams. Loud transfermarkt.ch Top transfers in the Bundesliga have repeatedly demanded large sums in recent seasons, which makes Bayern's shirt number 60 million not unusual.
Additionally, the future of another player, Kim Min-jae, is likely to play a role in the club's considerations. The sporting leadership is open to a sale, which could potentially create scope for new commitments. So it remains exciting to see whether FC Bayern will seriously make an offer for Williams in the coming weeks or take other paths.
