Liverpool have shown interest in Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon but are also considering other options.
While they are keen on the 23-year-old, Newcastle is reluctant to let him go at a reasonable price.
As a result, Liverpool might shift their focus to other targets, with reports from Football Insider suggesting Nico Williams is now on their radar.
The Athletic Club Bilbao winger had an impressive season, scoring 8 goals and providing 19 assists in all competitions.
He also performed well for Spain in the European Championships. Williams is expected to decide on his future after the tournament, and Liverpool may make a move for him in the coming weeks.
Liverpool has long admired the 21-year-old Spanish international and would need to trigger his €58 million release clause to secure his transfer.
Though Williams has been linked to clubs like Barcelona, Liverpool’s greater financial resources make them better positioned to sign him.
A Premier League move would be a significant career step for Williams, offering him a chance to showcase his talents at one of the world’s biggest clubs with a consistent record of competing for trophies.
Liverpool is also monitoring PSV Eindhoven winger Johan Bakayoko as a potentially cheaper alternative.
Improving their attacking unit is crucial for Liverpool to compete with top clubs like Arsenal and Manchester City, and Williams could significantly enhance their final third with his pace, skill, and goal-scoring ability.
