Bayern Munich’s hunt for a new left winger—and a replacement for Leroy Sané—has zeroed in on Athletic Club standout Nico Williams.
However, securing the talented LaLiga star won’t be straightforward for Bayern or other interested Premier League clubs like Arsenal and Chelsea. According to transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, the main hurdle lies in the player’s demands.

“Bayern are pushing hard to sign Nico Williams. The club has held two face-to-face meetings with the player’s representatives. They know it won’t be an easy deal, especially financially, but they’re determined to try. The release clause isn’t an issue for Bayern—it’s about Nico’s demands. Athletic Bilbao is ready to offer Williams a significant new contract if he decides to stay. Chelsea and Arsenal are also interested, but both English clubs consider this deal financially complicated.” [@FabrizioRomano]
Having been linked with a move to FC Barcelona last summer, Williams now faces a different landscape. The question remains: can the Spanish international command the salaries he desires, or will Bayern find themselves competing against their own wage constraints in pursuit of his signature?
