Bayern Munich contact Hansi Flick over Barcelona’s pursuit of Nico Williams
Nico Williams has emerged as the hottest topic of the summer as FC Barcelona are working to sign him while Athletic Club are trying to block his departure.
An agreement over personal terms has been reached between the Spanish international and the La Liga champions, though, and the expectation is that his €62 million release clause will be paid next week.
Amidst all this, Bayern Munich continue to monitor the situation closely as they are also strongly interested in Nico.
Indeed, the Bundesliga champions have made multiple approaches to the 22-year-old winger who has rebuffed them and informed them of his intention to join Barça.
Bayern contact Hansi Flick
Despite this, journalist Christian Falk on The Daily Briefing claims that Bayern Munich made enquiries with Barcelona manager Hansi Flick to understand the Blaugrana’s seriousness about their pursuit of Nico.
Bayern Munich has audaciously entered Barcelona’s turf, offering a blockbuster contract and ready to trigger Nico’s release clause.
But the winger is still leaning toward Barça, patiently waiting as Barcelona scrambles to square away financing and get his registration sorted.
Athletic Bilbao sits at the center, demanding full release clause payment.
–Flick’s influence looms large, with respect from both powerhouses. At Barcelona he is recalibrating the front line; at Bayern his legacy still lends gravitas.
Over the coming weeks, negotiations, FFP calculations, and Athletic’s stance will determine where Williams lands—Barcelona or an unexpected turn to Bavaria.
