Liverpool is reportedly interested in acquiring Nico Williams from Athletic Bilbao, who has a £77 million release clause. Williams has been a target for Liverpool, particularly as they search for a replacement for Mohamed Salah. However, Arsenal's pursuit appears to be more advanced at this stage, with their sporting director exploring feasibility for a deal. Williams, 24, had an impressive 2023/24 season with 18 goal involvements in 31 appearances, but his performance has since declined in the last two campaigns.
