Bayern Munich does not give up in the tight transfer race to sign Barcelona -target Nico Williams this summer.
The Catalan giants have renewed their long -term transfer interest in the highly rated Spain International after they had not delivered him away from Bilbao in 2024.
Despite the shortage of 12 months ago, while Williams is committed to staying in the Basque Country, Barcelona is not put off in their race for the 22-year-old.
However, an agreement is still at some distance of completed, with Athletic Club willing to keep it for its full £ 51 million [€58m] Release clause in the Estadio San Mames.
Club president Joan Laporta has confirmed that they will pay the Williams clause with Athletic Club that did not want to be accepted.
Delays on the final details continue to cause concern about a collapse of La Blaugrana because they strive for a structured range.
That will be rejected, and the final details still have the potential to reinforce the deal, despite the clear indication of Williams that he wants to join the Hansi Flick team for the 2025/26 season.
Bayern Munich keeps that light opportunities in the race with Williams ascended as Vincent Kompany's favorite option to become a member of his team.
The opportunities are in favor of Barcelona – as Williams wants the move – and Barcelona should have the financial muscle to get a deal over the line.
However, Laporta and Barcelona still work within a transfer policy of 1: 1, and every hint of collapsing conversations will cause alarm bells in Bavaria.
According to Bundesliga expert Christian Falk, Williams remains on the agenda in the Allianz Arena, after Bayern Munich Jamie Gittens could not convince to join them from Borussia Dortmund.
Gittens looks on course to go to Chelsea next month and that means that Kompany will look to see if Barcelona is rumbling the Williams deal.
