PSG enter race for Nico Williams (reliability: 5 stars)

Nico Williams is the name on everyone’s lips right now. PSG are also discussing his situation.

According to The Athletic, PSG are seriously interested in signing Williams from Athletic Bilbao.

PSG have already contacted Bilbao over the winger and will have no problems paying his €58m release clause.

Barcelona’s interest in Williams is genuine but they are reportedly waiting to get a green light from the player before proceeding to pay the fee.

It is unlikely that Williams chooses PSG over Barca but in terms of finances, there’s only one club who can pay him the same or even more than the €200,000 per week he earns at Bilbao, and it’s not Barca.

PSG are hunting for an attacker who will replace the departed Kylian Mbappe. The Frenchman’s exit to Real Madrid means they have lost an average of 35 goals per season.
