PSG targets Nico Williams in transfer battle

PSG continues to seek offensive reinforcements. Besides the persistent rumors around striker Victor Osimhen, the capital club also seems eager to strengthen its wings.

With the loss of Kylian Mbappe, everything seems set for Bradley Barcola to take control of the left wing. However, the Parisian leaders, while trusting the number 29 Rouge & Bleu, still hope to provide competition for the 21-year-old Frenchman. After attempting to recruit Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and being linked with Rafael Leao, PSG has now set its sights on Nico Williams.

PSG targets Nico Williams in transfer battle

The Spanish winger, a standout at Euro 2024 and now a hot commodity in the transfer market, is a top priority for FC Barcelona. The Catalans are openly interested, and the idea of the player forming a duo with his national team teammate Lamine Yamal could be appealing.

However, despite a release clause deemed low by many observers (€58M), Barcelona's economic difficulties complicate the operation. In this context, The Athletic reports that Paris Saint-Germain entered the race by initiating the first contact to gauge the situation.

This information was further detailed on Thursday, July 25, by our Spanish colleagues from Mundo Deportivo. They describe PSG as a serious threat to Barcelona for what is their top target in this summer transfer window. PSG's financial power and the potential of their sporting project could attract Nico Williams, who, it should be noted, has a release clause of €58M in his contract with Athletic Bilbao until 2027.

This amount is well within the reach of PSG's finances, and if they manage to reach an agreement and convince Nico Williams, they could quickly and easily close the deal. According to Mundo Deportivo, there is no doubt that PSG has firmly set its sights on the Spaniard.
