Premier League
Manchester United could change the fate of Nico Williams and seriously complicate Arsenal's plans. Although everything seemed set for the Athletic Club winger to join the 'Gunners', the 'Red Devils' have entered the equation with a move that could benefit FC Barcelona, the other club in the race for the Spanish international.
According to recent reports, the London team was ready to trigger Williams' €58 million release clause and make him one of the highest-paid players in the squad. However, United has shifted its interest towards signing Raphinha, a Barcelona winger, which could trigger a domino effect in the market. If Old Trafford secures the Brazilian, the Catalan club would gain the necessary resources to definitively go for Williams, who has previously expressed his preference for wearing the blaugrana shirt.
Manchester United Wants to Sign Nico Williams
The interest in the Athletic player is not new. Barcelona tried to sign him last summer, but economic difficulties prevented the deal from happening. Now, with a potential cash injection from Raphinha's sale, the situation could change and put Barça back in the race for his signing.
Williams, 22, has shined with the Spanish national team in Euro 2024, establishing himself as one of Europe's most promising wingers. His ability to dribble and create danger has made him a coveted asset in the market, and Manchester United could play a key role in his future, whether to thwart Arsenal's plans or to pave the way for Barcelona.
