Liverpool has made a strong start to the new campaign, winning three of their first four games. The summer transfer window saw the club take a decisive stance in parting ways with senior players like Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, and Roberto Firmino.

According to a report from the Catalan-based newspaper Sport, Liverpool is among the clubs expressing a keen interest in signing Nico Williams, a talented 21-year-old left-winger with a contract at Athletic Bilbao until 2024. Liverpool faces competition from Barcelona, who have been closely monitoring Williams.

Bilbao is eager to secure a new contract with Williams, but if they fail to do so within the next few months, Barcelona may seize the opportunity. Williams has a release clause of approximately £43 million and is seen as a promising talent for the future.

Estadio Deportivo reports that Liverpool has already made contact regarding Williams but that it appears to be a preliminary inquiry about the player’s availability, with no finalized agreement in place yet. Williams currently earns around £58,000 a week, indicating the high regard in which the club holds him.

While Liverpool has talented wingers like Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo, and Diogo Jota, the potential addition of Williams could provide depth and freshness to the squad. Salah, in particular, has attracted interest from Saudi clubs, so having additional options could be beneficial for Liverpool’s long-term plans.
