Reports Place Man United in Front for Nico Williams as Athletic Weigh Cut-Price Sale

Spanish outlets suggest the 23-year-old could be prised from Athletic below his €95m clause because of fitness concerns.

Overview

  • Manchester United are reported to be leading the race for the Athletic Club winger ahead of Arsenal and Chelsea, according to Fichajes-based coverage.
  • Despite a buyout clause widely cited around £82m/€95m, reports say Athletic could accept offers near £69m/€80m this summer.
  • CaughtOffside reports United are discussing a proposal close to €80m, with Williams under contract until 2035 and earning about €320,000 per week.
  • Mikel Arteta has reportedly asked Arsenal to monitor Williams and could consider moving on Gabriel Martinelli or Leandro Trossard to reshape the left flank.
  • Chelsea are credited with interest and, per reports, could seek to raise funds by selling Alejandro Garnacho, while no club has announced a formal bid.
