Nico Williams remains a topic of great interest at FC Barcelona, with the Catalans still interested in signing the Athletic Club winger after losing his services last summer.
He blaugrana They remain determined to bring in a top-class left-back to bolster their attacking unit ahead of next season and 22-year-old Nico remains one of the top targets.
However, competition for their services seems to grow every day. Bayern Munich and, more recently, Arsenal, were said to have entered the race to sign the Spanish international.
Now another big-spending Premier League club has shown interest in Nico.
Chelsea joins the race
In fact, according to The Athletic, Chelsea are also very interested in signing Nico Williams along with Arsenal and Barcelona.
Both London clubs are long-time admirers of the 22-year-old Spanish winger and would be interested in landing his services.
In fact, the report confirms that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta would be interested in adding Nico to his team from this month, especially after Bukayo Saka’s injury.
However, the financial situation of the operation complicates things for the Gunners, since the winger has a termination clause close to 60 million euros that he would have to pay in full.
Taking into account his salary, the cost of the operation increases further, making a January transfer unlikely.
Nico, for his part, has also shown no desire to leave his boyhood club mid-season.
But a summer exit remains a strong possibility and with interest in him growing, Barcelona would need to act quickly if they are to avoid missing out on the Spaniard for the second year in a row.
