Nico Williams could emerge as the standout player in this summer’s transfer window. Barcelona is keen on acquiring him, but Arsenal is also vying for his signature and is prepared to meet the 60 million compensation fee requested by Athletic Bilbao.

The promising young striker is set to make a move and is eager to bolster the Gunners’ roster. However, he has specific demands—he is reported to be seeking star treatment at the club along with an annual salary of up to 15 million euros.

Should Arsenal fulfill these conditions, Williams would rank among the team’s top earners, alongside Martin Odegaard, Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, and Kai Havertz, who each command salaries of 15 million.

This transfer initiative is being driven by new sporting director Andrea Berta and manager Mikel Arteta, who aim to assemble a squad capable of clinching a significant trophy this summer.
