Chelsea, and Barcelona among several clubs asking for information on Spain’s Euro 2024 star – Fabrizio Romano

Chelsea and Barcelona among clubs interested in Spain’s Euro 2024 star Nico Williams

According to a recent report from Fabrizio Romano, several clubs have requested information on Athletic Bilbao’s 21-year-old star forward, Nico Williams in recent months, including Chelsea and Barcelona.

Williams’ achievements for Ernesto Valverde’s team helped Bilbao finish fifth in Spain’s top flight and qualify for the Europa League. The 21-year-old is presently shining for Spain at Euro 2024, with La Roja clinching a position in the final 16 with one game to go.

The 21-year-old Spanish international is coming off the back of a remarkable recent season. He has scored eight goals and provided a staggering 19 assists during his total 37 appearances in La Liga and Copa del Rey.

With 122 games for Athletic Club, 20 goals, and 26 assists, the young player has already proven to be quite impressive for the La Liga club. In addition to this, the winger has been capped by the Spain senior team 15 times.

Missing out on their primary forward target, Benjamin Sesko, who signed a new contract with RB Leipzig, Chelsea would now like to make a concrete move for the young Spanish international as they desperately want to bring in an offensive addition this summer.

After inconsistent performances by Nicolas Jackson in the previous seasons, the Blues will now want to make sure that their offensive lineup is strong and able to convert enough chances into goals.

Entering a new era with a new manager, Enzo Maresca, Chelsea are searching the market to bring in quality additions to their squad to help their coach have a strong team ready to win some titles in the upcoming season.
