Reports indicate that Bilbao understands Williams’ departure is inevitable, as the player no longer feels comfortable and recognizes the need to progress. The Basques are willing to let their talented winger go, but not for less than €100 million. However, according to sources, this price tag does not deter Arsenal.

This season, Williams has made 26 appearances for Athletic Bilbao, scoring 4 goals and providing 6 assists. Currently, Athletic Bilbao sits 10th in La Liga with 28 points.
