While there have been rumors that Liverpool are interested in the forward, the president of Athletic Club has stated that he is working to secure Nico Williams to a new contract.
Williams’ current contract with Athletic is set to expire at the end of this season, and Jon Uriarte revealed to Marca that talks are taking place to extend it.
The 21-year-old is considered one of Europe’s most exciting players and has been dubbed “unstoppable” by Mundo Deportivo.
Williams has talent, and Liverpool may be the best fit for him.
In the event that Mohamed Salah leaves Liverpool in 2024, the youngster from Athletic will be Liverpool’s top target due to his uncertain future at Anfield.
Williams’ departure, however, is now being thwarted by Athletic, with the club’s president now confirming that talks with the forward are still ongoing.

“Nico, along with his family, Inaki, his mother, and other people, are very happy in Bilbao,” said Uriarte.
Both Athletic and our project are beloved by them.
So that he can stay, we are collaborating with both parties.
Williams can be convinced to leave Bilbao by Liverpool.
Williams’ devotion to Athletic is understandable given that the La Liga powerhouses gave the forward the chance to flourish and emerge as one of the most intriguing young players in all of Europe.
However, Liverpool could easily persuade the striker to move to Merseyside from Basque Country, particularly if the possibility of replacing Salah is raised.
Williams might be persuaded to leave Celtic if Liverpool makes an offer, as we all know they are clearly interested in the attacking midfielder.
