La Liga giants Barcelona have remained keen on roping in the player this summer and are reportedly ready to trigger his €58 million (£48m) release clause.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Per Fabrizio Romano, the Basque club are planning to offer a salary hike as an incentive for the winger if he decides to stay instead of joining either Barcelona or PSG. Williams put pen to paper on a new deal last season and had seen an increase in his earnings, however, Athletic Club are reportedly prepared to offer one more hike within just a year to reward his loyalty.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    It was earlier reported that several Premier League clubs, including Arsenal and Chelsea, have also shown interest in the player as the duo look to bolster their attacks ahead of the 2024-25 season.
