🔴 Liverpool ‘Increasingly Confident’ of Landing Nico Williams in £84M Move
Liverpool are growing increasingly confident that they can secure the signing of Nico Williams this summer, just days after sealing a blockbuster deal for Florian Wirtz, according to Sky Sports.
Renowned journalist Dharmesh Sheth revealed on a live transfer update that the Merseyside giants have made the 21‑year‑old winger their priority target, with negotiations progressing positively. “Liverpool believe they have a very good chance of signing Nico Williams after Wirtz,” said Sheth. “Talks are progressing behind the scenes, and there is optimism from the Anfield side that a deal can be done quickly.”
The Athletic Club and Spain star has been one of Europe’s brightest young talents, following an electric campaign with both club and country — including a standout showing at Euro 2024. His blistering pace, creative flair, and technical quality have made him a target for elite clubs like Barcelona, Chelsea, and Manchester United, but it’s Liverpool who appear to be leading the race.
The Reds are reportedly ready to trigger the €100m (£84m) release clause in Williams’ contract, making him their second record‑breaking signing in a matter of weeks.
“Slot wants dynamic, versatile attackers who can press and create, and both Wirtz and Williams tick all the boxes,” one source told Sky.
With the addition of Florian Wirtz and the potential arrival of Nico Williams, Anfield is abuzz with excitement. The possibility of a revamped attacking trio featuring Mohamed Salah, Florian Wirtz, and Nico Williams has fans dreaming of a “game‑changing window” for the Reds.
If Liverpool pull this off, they’ll be primed for a blockbuster 2025/26 season — and one of the deadliest attacks in Europe.
