Nico Williams’ future is once again generating buzz. The Athletic Club forward has caught the attention of several top clubs, including PSG, Tottenham, and others.
Nico Williams, who has been linked with a move to several top clubs over the past year, is attracting interest from a variety of big names, including Paris Saint-Germain, Tottenham Hotspur, and others across Europe.
Following an impressive 2023-24 season, in which Williams helped Athletic Club secure the Copa del Rey and made vital contributions to Spain’s successful campaign at UEFA Euro 2024, his stock has risen significantly.
With two goals and three assists already in the 2024-25 season, Williams is continuing to impress on the pitch, and it’s no surprise that clubs are circling. But what are the latest updates on his future?
Barcelona no longer a priority for Nico Williams
Initially, FC Barcelona seemed to be one of the frontrunners for Williams’ signature. The Catalan club attempted to sign him over the summer, but the move ultimately fell through.
However, according to sources contacted by Paris Saint-Germain News, Barcelona no longer seems to be as appealing a destination for Williams as it once did.
The situation surrounding a potential transfer to Barcelona has cooled, with the club’s financial concerns and other priorities contributing to this shift.
For Williams, the idea of joining Barcelona doesn’t hold the same allure as it did a few months ago, despite their continued interest.
It appears that the player and his camp are now focusing on other options, particularly in the Premier League, with clubs like Tottenham, Chelsea, and other top English sides closely monitoring his progress.
Tottenham and PSG still in the hunt
While Barcelona’s pursuit may have waned, both Tottenham Hotspur and Paris Saint-Germain remain firmly in the mix for Williams.
The French giants are still keen to bolster their attacking options, but sources suggest that PSG is not the player’s first choice at the moment.
In fact, despite initial speculation, Williams’ entourage seems less enthusiastic about a move to Paris, with a move to England now seeming more likely.
Tottenham, on the other hand, has been mentioned repeatedly in connection with Williams. The north London club is in the market for a versatile forward who can add depth and quality to their attacking line, and Williams could be the ideal fit.
With the Premier League being Williams’ preferred destination, Spurs will likely continue to monitor the situation closely.
With clubs from Spain, France, and England vying for his signature, it’s clear that the young forward has a wealth of options.
For now, Williams continues to shine for Athletic Club, and the coming months will likely see his future take shape.
