Paris Saint-Germain have taken a big step to secure the future of their forward line by activating the €58 million release clause of Nico Williams, the promising Athletic Club winger.
After the departures of Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé and Neymar, PSG is seeking to rebuild its project and has set its sights on the young Spanish star, who shone in La Liga and the national team.
Nico Williams, with his speed, his one-on-one skills and his ability to score goals, is the type of player PSG needs to spearhead the club's new era.
Nico Williams, the key player PSG needs
PSG's recent restructuring, following the departures of its best players, has left a void in terms of leadership and offensive talent. With Zaire Emery, one of the most promising youngsters in midfield, and Barcola, a quality new signing, PSG are looking to build a team that will be competitive in Ligue 1 and, above all, the Champions League.
The arrival of Williams would be decisive in ensuring the offensive dynamism sought by the club. Nico Williams, who at 22 is already considered one of Spain's biggest talents, showed great potential during his time at Athletic Club.
A big step in his career
The opportunity to join one of the biggest clubs in Europe, like PSG, would represent a big step in his career. PSG is not only looking to strengthen its squad, but also to make a splash on the market.
With a significant investment of 58 million euros, the club demonstrates its intention to regain its place as a major competitor on the international scene.
