Rumor has it that Manchester United and Liverpool would fight it out for the services of emerging Ghanaian forward Nico Williams.
English clubs are showing interest in the gifted winger after a standout season in La Liga the previous year.
Williams, the younger brother of new Ghana striker Inaki, has found his way into Athletic Club de Bilbao’s first squad after a succession of impressive top-level performances.
The club contract of the 19-year-old athlete expires in 2024, and Liverpool and Manchester United would have to provide a sizable money to entice him away from San Mames. He has a release clause worth 42 million euros.
Last season, Nico Williams played 34 La Liga games for Athletic Club, showing great promise in his breakthrough year.
In total, he scored three goals—two in the Super Copa and one in the Copa del Rey.
Before the World Cup in Qatar, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) opened talks about a change of citizenship due to his impressive performances.
Inaki Williams, who announced a week ago that he would play for the Black Stars, and Nico Williams were both born to Ghanaian parents in Spain.
