Barcelona chief Deco has met with Williams’ agent to discuss a potential transfer, offering a €12 million gross salary, a figure previously discussed with the player a year ago.

However, Barcelona face stiff competition from Bayern Munich and Arsenal, who are also interested in signing the 22-year-old player.

Athletic Bilbao have initiated new contract talks to keep Williams at the club beyond this summer transfer window.

The 22-year-old Spanish international has been impressive for Athletic Bilbao, scoring 11 goals and providing 7 assists in 45 matches this season.

Williams’ release clause stands at €58 million, which could pose a significant challenge for Barcelona given their current financial constraints.

Williams’ current annual salary is around £8.7 million with Athletic Bilbao, significantly lower than top earners in La Liga like Robert Lewandowski (£28.1 million) and Kylian Mbappé (£26.3 million).
