Liverpool have been informed by the agent of Nico Williams that he is ready to agree a move this summer, and Arsenal are also reportedly eyeing the young Spanish winger.
The end of the 2023-24 will prove to be a pivotal point in the history of LFC. The impending departure of Jurgen Klopp has already raised many concerns regarding the future of the club.
On top of that, the buzz surrounding the potential exit of Mohamed Salah from Anfield has been a source of worry for the Reds.
The Egyptian skipper is a key player for the club, and he adds flair to the Merseyside attack. His contributions never go unnoticed.
Salah’s potential departure would mean the attack would suffer a major blow, and the right-winger position would come under threat.

Liverpool and Arsenal Eye Nico Williams
The Anfield giants are looking into the prospect of securing an equally potent replacement for the 31-year-old. Reports last summer suggested that LFC had expressed their interest in Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams.
However, according to a report via HITC, several PL clubs, including Liverpool, are eyeing a move for the young winger.
The 21-year-old is a right-footed left-winger who can operate on both flanks with ease. Williams, so far in this season, has netted six goals and assisted 12 goals in 28 appearances across all competitions (stats via Transfermarkt).
The Spanish international’s contract with the LaLiga side runs out by 2027. Additionally, he has a £42.5M release clause in his contract, which sparks even more interest in the young talent.
The positive news for the Merseyside fans is that the club has progressed decently behind the curtains regarding this deal.

But Arsenal are also interested in landing the deal for Williams, as they want to increase their squad depth.
Gunners boss Mikel Arteta has to heavily depend on Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli in both flanks, and he wishes to change that next season.
The coming summer transfer window will be an interesting watch which will uncover how this transfer saga concludes.
An ardent football fan and a proud Red. I take immense pleasure in analyzing the intricacies of the game.
