Considering buying Nicolas Williams off Athletic Bilbao is reportedly something Manchester United would seriously consider next summer.
After contributing to their triumph in Euro 2024, Williams has attracted attention from many top European clubs, including Barcelona.
Impressive Form at Athletic Bilbao
Williams had an outstanding season with Bilbao, a season in which he produced 17 goals and 11 assists.
His style of powerful attacking play combined with his ability to influence a game have made him one of European football’s most sought-after prospects.
Even though Barcelona sought his services, Williams stayed at Bilbao for another year.
But that still hasn’t stopped all the idle talk about his future.
United’s Future Plans
If Antony leaves the English football club Manchester United at the end of 2025, the Red Devils are considering Williams to fill his position.
Antony has struggled to justify his £86 million transfer fee and has fallen down the pecking order at Old Trafford.
United’s management is keen on strengthening their attacking options, the team’s leaders are looking everywhere for potential new acquisition examples like Amad Diallo and Alejandro Garnacho to play key roles in the future.
Competition for Signature
Referring to Spanish media Fichajes, the chase for Williams has intensified.
However, while Barcelona and Manchester United reportedly remain interested in the player, his buyout clause will be a hotly debated topic among European clubs.
In order to beat out their rivals, United are prepared to make a significant financial effort.
With the season now under way, it looks increasingly likely Nico Williams will be leaving Bilbao, and both Manchester United and Barcelona are piling heavy money into chasing him.
Relations between those chasing his signature are only in their beginning stages now, and fans will be keen to see where this exciting young talent ends up.
