Arsenal is expected to launch an attack on the La Liga market during the summer transfer window, with in particular movements for two players in a row: Nico Williams and Martin Zubimendi. They are reportedly strong favorites to sign the last of Real Sociedad, but in the case of the Athletic Club -wing player, things are not so clear.
Nevertheless, the fact that Barcelona issues the possible signing of Williams in the summer becomes an advantage. The Catalans were desperate to land the Spanish international in 2024, but a deal was eventually excluded when the player indicates his intention to stay in Bilbao.
Arsenal hopes that Williams will relax his attitude to stay this summer. Athletic has no plans to negotiate with interested clubs, although that does not matter for the Premier League side, because football transfers have reported that they are willing to activate his release clause, which is assumed that it is worth in the region of € 58 million.
According to the report, the possible arrival of Williams at Arsenal is not dependent on any sale, which means that nothing would stand in the way of bringing the 22-year-old to North London to their end.
However, it is far from certain that they can convince him to leave athletic. Until now he has not shown no desire to leave, and despite an extremely strong pressure from Barcelona last summer, he continued to stay in his boy's club for a season.
It is still to be seen whether Williams will be moving from Athletic during the summer transfer window. For now, his focus is on helping Los Leones to end the season at a peak, and then it is expected to think or his future is away from the Basque Country.
