Bayern Munich has reportedly become the top contender for Athletic Bilbao forward Nico Williams, amid speculation surrounding his future.
The 22-year-old has been impressive for Athletic, scoring 11 goals and registering seven assists in 44 appearances this season.
Transfer Speculation
Williams’ release clause was activated by Barcelona last year, but he chose to stay with Athletic.

Now, Bayern Munich, Arsenal, and Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing him.
Bayern’s Interest
According to Fichajes, Bayern head coach Vincent Kompany wants to strengthen his squad with a left-sided attacker, and Williams is considered the ideal signing.
The report suggests that Williams’ quality and relatively affordable price tag of €58m (£49m) make him an attractive target.
Williams’ Form and Fitness
Williams has been a key player for both Athletic Bilbao and Spain, scoring 31 goals and registering 30 assists in 166 appearances.
However, he’s been dealing with a groin issue that has impacted his form recently.
Would Williams Be a Good Fit for Bayern?
Adding Williams to Bayern’s squad would strengthen their attack, alongside players like Jamal Musiala, Michael Olise, and Harry Kane.
For €58m (£49m), Williams could be one of the best signings of the summer transfer window.
What’s Next?
As the transfer window approaches, Williams’ future remains uncertain. Will he stay with Athletic Bilbao or join a new club? Only time will tell.
