Is Bayern ready to do whatever it takes to lure this La Liga gem?

Athletic Bilbao, a land of loyalty and talent. The Basque club, known for its unique recruitment policy, has seen players who preferred the love of the jersey over international glory. Nico Williams, 22, is no exception. After a dazzling Euro, the Spanish winger has turned down advances from Europe's biggest clubs, including Bayern Munich. But for how much longer?

According to reports, the Bavarian club, still on the case, is ready to pay the release clause set at 58 million euros. No negotiations possible: that's the price to pay to snatch the Basque gem. Bayern is analyzing its finances, aware that the operation would cost much more with salaries and bonuses. But beyond the numbers, one question remains: is Nico Williams ready to leave San Mamés next summer? The answer will come in a few months.
