According to a fresh exclusive from Sky Sports, Liverpool are growing increasingly confident in their pursuit of another major summer signing, just days after finalizing a high-profile deal for Florian Wirtz.
Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth revealed that the Reds have now shifted their full attention to securing Nico Williams, with the club feeling “more and more optimistic” about landing the Spanish winger for around £84 million — the amount of his release clause.
“After bringing in Wirtz, Liverpool now believe they have a strong chance of signing Nico Williams,” Sheth shared during a live transfer segment on Sky Sports News. “Negotiations are ongoing, and there’s a sense of positivity within the club that an agreement could be reached soon.”
The 21-year-old winger has become one of the most sought-after young talents in Europe, thanks to his explosive displays for Athletic Club and his breakout performance with Spain at Euro 2024. His blistering speed, flair, and technical quality have drawn attention from top clubs including Barcelona, Manchester United, and Chelsea — but Liverpool now appear to be in pole position.
After pulling off the surprise signing of Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen, Liverpool under Arne Slot are clearly making a bold statement in the transfer market. Adding Williams would further underline their aggressive summer strategy.
“Slot wants players who are dynamic, adaptable, and capable of both pressing and creating,” a source told Sky. “Wirtz and Williams fit that profile perfectly.”
Fans are already envisioning a formidable front line of Nico Williams, Florian Wirtz, and Mohamed Salah — with social media buzzing about what many are calling a transformative transfer window for the Reds.
With a busy summer ahead, Liverpool are positioning themselves as a serious force going into the 2025/26 campaign — potentially boasting one of the most dangerous attacking trios in European football.
