Barcelona are going to great lengths to beat off Premier League competition for Nico Williams in the summer transfer window.
The Athletic Club de Bilbao winger attracted interest from some of the biggest clubs in Europe, including Arsenal and Chelsea, following his stellar performances at Euro 2024 as Spain beat England to glory this past month.
Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Juventus and Newcastle United have also been linked with the 22-year-old in the past.
Williams signed a contract extension last year that sees him earn £170,000 per week (£8.8m per annum), but he reportedly has a release clause set at £49m.
