Despite the long duration of his new contract at Athletic Bilbao, Spanish winger Nico Williams remains on the radar of Europe’s elite clubs.

While he was expected to leave Athletic Bilbao this summer, the 23-year-old ultimately extended his stay with his boyhood club until 2035. Yet, this lengthy deal hasn’t dampened the interest from elsewhere. According to reports from the Spanish press, particularly Fichajes, Bayern Munich have placed Williams high on their list of priorities for next summer.

A Spanish international and already regarded as one of La Liga’s most exciting attacking prospects, Nico Williams could well become one of the headline attractions of the next transfer window.
