Liverpool set to sign Nico Williams in big-money deal

Nico Williams remains a Premier League target. After a busy summer full of offers, in recent months this interest has not stopped in Europe where Liverpool are planning to make a strategic sale that could result in an offer that is difficult for Athletic to refuse.

Mikel Arteta's Arsenal already knocked on his door in the winter transfer market , but neither the player nor the club were willing to open the door to a mid-season exit.

In recent days at Anfield everything could gain momentum again if an exit is closed, which in England they assure that Luis Díaz could be the key to the move.

With a contract until 2027 and no signs of a renewal, the Colombian winger would be tempted to leave in June, with both Barça and Saudi Arabia interested in signing him. Liverpool manager Arne Slot would be in favour of his departure as long as a juicy financial offer of between 80 and 90 million euros arrived.

This would then be the scenario in which the 'reds' would act accordingly to sign Nico as their replacement on the left wing.

At Anfield they recognise that he is a profile that the club likes and that, according to Mundo Deportivo , they could use a large part of what they get for Luis Díaz to pay the 58 million clause to close his signing.

An interesting project for Nico Williams

Unlike the economic and sporting situation that he offered to Barça at the time, in Liverpool it has been shown that he has a solid foundation that is suited to what Nico Williams would be looking for if he were to finish his time at San Mamés.

A team that leads the Premier League and is one of the big favourites to win the Champions League this year. With a style where the wings are important, Nico Williams would have at his disposal a great step in his career to win titles and enjoy a more vertical style of football that adapts more to his style of play.

For now, his only concern is to reach the dream Europa League final in his home city, and then evaluate the offers he has on the table.

Teams like Bayern, Arsenal and Barça will also be on the lookout, and Liverpool have already begun to draw up the path that would lead them to be the winners of the bidding.
