Manchester United and Chelsea are reportedly competing to sign Athletic Club winger Nico Williams, according to multiple sources. The 22-year-old Spain international has a release clause of €58 million (£49 million) in his contract with the Basque club.
Williams, who impressed at Euro 2024, has been a key player for Athletic Club, contributing goals and assists. His pace and dribbling ability have attracted interest from several top European clubs.
Both Manchester United and Chelsea are looking to strengthen their attacking options. United are seeking a winger to complement their forward line, while Chelsea continue to invest in young talent. However, no formal bids have been confirmed as of July 20, 2026.
