Liverpool are reportedly ready to make a huge move for Spanish winger Nico Williams by activating the €95 million (£82.7m / $112.9m) release clause in his Athletic Club contract.
The club are said to be prepared to pay the full amount, which would mean Athletic Club could not stop the transfer and the final decision would rest with the player. It shows how serious Liverpool are about improving their attack ahead of an important new season.
Barcelona are also strong admirers of the 21-year-old and see him as a perfect fit for their style of play. However, Liverpool’s willingness to trigger the clause quickly could give them a major advantage, especially if Barcelona cannot match the speed or structure of the deal.
By acting fast, Liverpool would avoid a long transfer battle and make a clear statement in the market.
Nico Williams is seen as one of the most exciting young wingers in Europe. He is known for his pace, direct dribbling, and confidence when taking on defenders. Over the past year, he has impressed for both Athletic Club and Spain, raising his profile even further.
For Liverpool, he would bring:
– Speed and width in attack
– Strong pressing and work rate
– Creativity from wide areas
– Huge potential at just 21 years old
He can also play on either wing, giving the team more tactical options in attack.
If Liverpool do activate the €95m clause, it would be one of the biggest transfers in the club’s history and show their ambition to compete at the highest level in England and Europe.
The next few weeks could be crucial as Liverpool consider the financial side of the deal and Williams decides on his future. But if the Reds go ahead and trigger the clause, it would be one of the biggest moves of the summer.
