The Spanish footballer is back on the London club’s shortlist after Arsenal encountered difficulties in their pursuit of Morgan Rogers and Bradley Barcola.

The main obstacle for Arsenal remains the cost of the deal. Williams’ contract with Athletic includes a release clause set at €90 million.

The Basque club has no intention of parting with its leader easily and may demand that the Gunners fully activate the player’s clause.

There is no final agreement between the parties yet, but Arsenal is already exploring the possibility of launching official negotiations.

It’s worth noting that Nico Williams continues to play for Athletic Bilbao, the club where he came through the academy.
