While Antoine Semenyo has been heavily linked, there is a whole host of clubs vying for his signature and should they fail to sign him, Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams has been mooted as an option. Nico Williams weighing up Premier League move amid Bilbao’s poor form Bilbao are not doing well this season and while Liverpool are in the same boat, there is a lot more potential for things to turn around at Anfield given the vast amount of quality at Slot’s disposal.

According to Spanish news outlet Fichajes, Liverpool are one of the clubs that could snap Williams up. “Liverpool will spare no expense, following in the footsteps of the multi-million pound signings of Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz, building a dream squad to conquer every title.” The big problem: €95m release clause After a summer in which Liverpool spent a total of £466m, the Reds need to be very careful not to misstep.

Williams is an exciting player but despite 11 goals and seven assists last season, is he worth the €95m (£83m) release clause in his contract? If Semenyo is unavailable and Liverpool are serious about Williams, they will need to be absolutely certain he is worth the money because Liverpool cannot afford any more scrutiny with regards to their transfer activity.
