Nico Williams Says No to Barça, Has a Better Offer: 'He Will Be the Replacement for...'

Nico Williams continues to be a hot topic after clearly being the protagonist of the past summer transfer market. When his signing with Barça was already taken for granted, Nico Williams said no to Barça and decided to stay in Bilbao for another season. Athletic significantly improved his contract, although the release clause was set at 58M Euros.

Considering Barça's severe financial difficulties last summer, it was seen as an opportunity to wait a year to improve the situation to be able to incorporate him. In this regard, Barça hasn't thrown in the towel and, being back within the financial fair play rules, they are considering the Navarrese for this summer. Hansi Flick has expressly requested to strengthen the left-wing position and sees Nico as the key piece to enhance the offensive area.

However, in recent hours, a strong competitor has emerged that may prevent Barça from signing the Navarrese forward. Nico Williams continues to attract interest in England, and Liverpool would be behind the player. The English team is considering making an irresistible offer to incorporate the forward this summer.

An Interesting Project for Nico Williams

Unlike the economic and sporting situation that Barça offered him at the time, Liverpool is showing that it has solid foundations that can convince the Navarrese. Liverpool authoritatively leads the Premier and is one of the candidates to win the current edition of the Champions. Liverpool significantly bets on wing play, and Nico would have a key role with a vertical and direct game.

The English team is seeking to renew its forward line, Salah, one of the iconic figures of recent times, is in the final stretch of his contract and still hasn't renewed. Although the English are betting on his continuation, Mohamed Salah won't continue with the Reds. Meanwhile, the Colombian Luis Díaz could also leave next transfer market as a transfer.

Mohamed Salah Won't Continue at Liverpool

The Egyptian forward of Liverpool, a true legend with the Reds, has a contract until June of this season. In an interview with the British media Sky Sports, he already confirmed that this would be his last campaign and he wouldn't renew. The English team sees Nico Williams as the perfect forward to replace their current star.

Meanwhile, Nico Williams is focused on the final part of the season with Athletic, which is fighting for Champions positions in La Liga. Nico also dreams of being able to play in the UEFA Europa League final and is fully focused on the round of 16 tie against Roma. Nico Williams won't lack offers, and Barça won't have it easy to secure his incorporation.
