Birmingham’s most recent Aston Villa transfer newsAfter Villa’s rejection, Live gives an update on Athletic Bilbao standout Nico Williams.
If Aston Villa decides to rekindle its interest in Nico Williams in January, Nico Williams’ contract demands at Athletic Bilbao may provide a helping hand.
Unai Emery reportedly spoke with the winger to persuade him to move when Villa attempted to sign him in the summer. Williams chose to remain in Spain despite Villa being willing to activate his £45 million release clause.
Since then, Bilbao has been eager to sign him to a lengthy contract in order to keep him instead of losing him for nothing when his current deal expires next summer. El Correo claims that there is one roadblock standing in the way of the parties’ agreement.
According to reports, the primary problem is “finding a deal that suits both parties,” with Williams insisting on signing a brief contract with a provision allowing him to quit at any time.
According to reports, negotiations are “progressing at a good pace,” and if three key points can be reached, he will sign a new agreement. They are the termination clause, the length of his contract, and his annual compensation.
Williams’ release clause is now set at €50 million (£44 million), and if things stay as they are, he would be available to start speaking with clubs in January when the market opens.
