Nico Williams continues to be a player of great interest for FC Barcelona after the club failed to sign him from Athletic Club in the summer.
The 22-year-old Spanish international is one of the several options that the Catalans are considering to reinforce the left wing in the 2025 summer transfer market.
However, there may be a possibility that the blaugrana They will end up missing out on the services of the Euro 2024 winner, and other major clubs are on the lookout to sign him, even this month.
Arsenal willing to activate Nico Williams’ termination clause
In fact, according to Football Transfers, Premier League title contenders Arsenal are ready to activate Nico Williams’ €58 million release clause in the current winter transfer window.
The Gunners are looking for attacking reinforcements following the injury to key forward Bukayo Saka and have identified Nico as one of the top targets, with the Spaniard on their agenda for some time.
In fact, the information indicates that Arsenal are already in talks with the Athletic Club winger’s agent and are waiting for the player’s green light to activate the termination clause.
Interestingly, Mikel Arteta’s team also likes another Barcelona target: AC Milan’s Rafael Leao, but they see Nico as a more affordable option, considering that the former would cost between 75 and 80 million euros.
One of the main reasons why Nico did not sign for Barcelona in the summer and chose to continue at Athletic Club was the issue of Fair Play for the Catalans, since his team had doubts about his registration.
Having seen the transfer soap opera of Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor, the 22-year-old could have reservations about a future move to Catalonia that could end up in the hands of Arsenal.
