Arsenal discusses summer transfer with Nico Williams' representatives

Arsenal is actively pursuing a summer transfer for Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams, having recently appointed Andrea Berta as their sporting director. Berta has already met with Williams' agent to discuss the potential move, with Arsenal reportedly having scouted the player for two years. Williams has a release clause set at €58 million and has drawn interest from other clubs including Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Chelsea. Following a strong Euro 2024 performance, he is expected to consider a move after another solid season, where he contributed nine goals and seven assists across competitions. Arsenal is also looking to revamp its squad, with potential departures and contract renewals for key players on the agenda. The club's proactive approach under Berta is seen as a significant step in their transfer strategy.
