The Reds rival Real Madrid for an exceptional La Liga winger

Nico Williams is expected to move on from Athletic Bilbao, and his £49m release clause makes him an attainable target for several clubs across Europe.

According to Marca via Fichajes, Real Madrid are keen to snare him away from Athletic Bilbao in the upcoming transfer window as part of their plans.

However, the winger is attracting serious interest from England, and it has been claimed that Real Madrid’s biggest rival for his signature is Liverpool.

The Reds are in the market for wide forwards, and Arne Slot would love to add a versatile winger such as Williams, who could play on both flanks.

Liverpool are closely monitoring his situation and are prepared to pounce to convince the Spaniard to move to Anfield in the upcoming transfer window.

It would be extra sweet for the Reds, given Real Madrid are desperate to get their hands on the player.
