Arsenal is preparing to extend a substantial offer, as Mikel Arteta’s primary target is now poised to accept a contract with the Gunners.

 

 

Premier League club According to reports, Arsenal is prepared to extend a substantial offer to acquire Spanish winger Nico Williams from Athletic Club. Arsenal’s manager, Mikel Arteta, is reportedly an ardent admirer of Williams, who delivered an outstanding performance for Spain during the European Championship held last summer.

 

 

He contributed to La Roja’s decisive victory against England and was associated with a potential transfer to both Arsenal and FC Barcelona during the summer transfer window. Williams’ performance for Athletic this season has been rather disappointing, as he has recorded four goals and provided five assists in 30 appearances across all competitions.

 

 

 

His performance statistics this season have not deterred Arsenal, who continue to express a strong interest in acquiring the 22-year-old player. According to a report from Football Transfers, it is asserted that

 

 

 

Arsenal is “prepared to offer an amount exceeding” his €58 million (£48.2 million) release clause. The report asserts that the Gunners endeavoured to acquire Williams during the January transfer window. Despite demonstrating a readiness to meet the player’s release clause, they were ultimately unable to finalise the transaction.

 

 

Artery’s will reassess the situation at the conclusion of the season and recognise that exceeding the £48.2 million clause would likely necessitate more advantageous payment terms, thereby assisting them in navigating the Premier League’s profit and sustainability regulations.
