Revealed: Athletic Club's plan to Nico Williams to snub Barcelona and PSG interest

Speculation surrounding Williams' future has intensified in the wake of his starring role in Spain's Euro 2024 triumph. La Liga giants Barcelona have remained keen on roping in the player this summer and are reportedly <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/barcelona-ready-to-trigger-nico-williams-release-clause-to-lure-spain-hero-from-athletic-club/bltea60bba8c84e0030" target="_blank">ready to trigger his €58 million (£48m) release clause</a>. Ligue 1 champions <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/psg-working-hard-compete-nico-williams-transfer-back-foot-barcelona/blta19aefe7023984a0" target="_blank">PSG are also in the race to sign the youngster</a>, although the Catalan giants are being considered the favourite candidates at the moment.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Per Fabrizio Romano, the Basque club are planning to offer a salary hike as an incentive for the winger if he decides to stay instead of joining either Barcelona or PSG.

Amid all the speculation regarding his future, the 22-year-old is currently enjoying a well-earned break after his scintillating performances for club and country in the 2023-24 season.
