00:00We would probably finish quicker by naming the teams that don't want to sign Nico Williams,
00:05but the video would be extremely short, so let's talk about those dying to see him in
00:11their jersey.
00:12For now, the one he wears is that of the Athletic Club, because he almost left last summer,
00:18and although he has a contract until 2027, it seems difficult for him to remain in Bilbao
00:24another season.
00:26Arsenal, specifically Mikel Arteta, would love for his delayed Christmas gift to have
00:31the youngo Williams.
00:33The Athletic reports that the Spanish coach wants him as soon as possible.
00:37The issue for the Gunners, and for almost anyone interested in signing him, is the price.
00:44His release clause is set at 62.5 million dollars, and on top of that there is his salary,
00:51which isn't exactly low.
00:53So it seems Arteta will have to be patient.
00:56The thing is, Arsenal isn't the only one who wants Nico Williams, Chelsea is also expected
01:01to make a strong push.
01:04With the Blues set to play in the Champions League next season, Enzo Maresca knows that
01:08Nico would be a key player to help take their squad to the next level.
01:12And if there's one thing Chelsea has, it's money.
01:17But money isn't lacking at Liverpool either.
01:20The Reds tried to sign him last summer, and now, with Mohamed Salah and possibly Darwin
01:25Núñez seemingly on their way out, it wouldn't be surprising if they go all in.
01:31Barcelona wanted him, but when it comes to money, the Catalan club doesn't have much,
01:37and Dani Olmo can confirm that.
01:39The Blaugrana dream remains to pair Nico Williams with Lamín Yamal, but for now that's all
01:45it is, just a dream.
01:47And dreams don't buy players.
01:49Where will Nico Williams play next season?
01:51That's a question even Nico himself might not have the answer to.
