This summer, a Spanish genius star is destined to become a popular "fried chicken" in the European transfer market. He is Nico Williams, a talented winger who currently plays for Athletic Bilbao in La Liga. He is only 22 years old this year, but because of his emergence in La Liga in recent seasons, half of the European national team's clubs have salivated him.

, and according to the Spanish media "As" Bilbao team reporter Javier Beltrán, there are 3 top European giants who want to get Nico Williams the most. They are Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Chelsea.

Nico - William S can be regarded as the new generation of genius star in Spanish football. Data shows that in the past three seasons, he has performed extremely bravely in Athletic Bilbao, and in 125 appearances, he has contributed a total of 28 goals and 27 assists. Such impressive data is undoubtedly quite valuable for a young winger who is only 22 years old. He is fast, explosive, and has the best-in-class ability to dribble, which naturally makes those European giants eager to move him. What made many European giants even more excited was that Nico Williams' contract set a penalty of 58 million euros. In the football transfer market where players are worth more than 100 million yuan, the price of this liquidated damages is simply too affordable. For those top European clubs with strong financial resources, this liquidated damages are simply a piece of cake and do not constitute any obstacles. So, almost any European giant is thinking about this La Liga genius star now.

At present, Athletic Bilbao is in negotiations for renewal with Nico Williams in an attempt to retain the team's core player. Nico Williams' existing contract expires in June 2027, and the club hopes to retain the Spanish genius star with a new contract. However, the road to renewal has not been smooth. On the one hand, they need to significantly increase Nico Williams' salary; on the other hand, they have to consider how to increase the amount of the termination clause in the contract to scare away many external competitors who are eyeing Nico Williams. If Nico Williams is unwilling to renew his contract, Athletic Bilbao will consider selling him as soon as possible. After all, they don't expect to lose both their money and wealth at that time.

If Nico Williams chooses to leave Athletic Bilbao this summer, his next stop is most likely a top club with the strength to compete for league titles or even Champions League titles. Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Chelsea obviously all meet this condition.

In view of this, this summer, the above three European giants will inevitably launch a fiercely competitive battle for Nico Williams. Under equal conditions, whoever can afford a higher salary will most likely get the 22-year-old Spanish talented winger. This summer, who can have the last laugh in this battle for the three giants, Bayern, Arsenal and Chelsea? Let's wait and see.
