Nico Williams wage demands should price himself out of Chelsea transfer list

Athletic Club left winger Nico Williams found himself on the radar of the biggest clubs in the Premier League, specifically London rivals Chelsea and Arsenal, after a quality 2023/24 LaLiga campaign. And then after winning the European Championships as a key player for Spain, his stock skyrocketed. Though Lamine Yamal recruited his friend hard to Barcelona, Williams decided to stay with Athletic Club and brother Iñaki after the Lions signed him to a lucrative contract extension. Although Athletic Club are in the Europa League semifinals and the top four of LaLiga, the transfer rumors surrounding Williams have not quelled, with the Premier League's elite still circling the 22-year-old star. Nico Williams wants a huge salary from any team interested According to a report from the Dai...

Bayern Munich are backing out of the race for their ideal LW transfer

With Serge Gnabry and Kingley Coman in the down phase of their solid Bundesliga and Champions League careers, Bayern Munich are in need of a new left winger in the summer 2025 transfer window. Last summer, Bayern signed one of the best up-and-coming right wingers in the game in Michael Olise, and his addition has paid immediate dividends for Die Roten. But Bayern need an explosive, chance-creating partner on the opposite wing - someone who can bring more dynamism and one-on-one ability than what Coman and Gnabry can currently offer, which is admittedly very little. However, Bayern Munich are reportedly backing out of the race to sign Athletic Club star Nico Williams, who was previously said to be the dream signing of Bayern sporting director Max Eberl. Williams is having anothe...

5 transfers Champions League clubs need to make in summer 2025

Winning the Champions League is one thing, but staying on top and being a legitimate title contender year in and year out is another thing entirely and requires making the right signings at the right times. Here are five signings that the traditional heavyweights - and new contenders - in the Champions League need to make in the summer 2025 transfer window in order to improve their chances of making the leap or building a true dynasty. Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid Listen, Real Madrid needed to sign another right back five years ago, and while Dani Carvajal proved a lot of Madrid fans wrong by showing he has plenty left in the tank last season, he will be coming off an ACL tear in 2025/26 at the age of 33 at a physically demanding position. Real Madrid need a new right back...

The 5 best attackers for Barcelona to sign in summer 2025 transfer window

Barcelona have the most exciting attacking football in the world right now and recently flexed that might with an incredible, potentially title-deciding 4-2 comeback win over Atletico Madrid. But Barcelona are always looking to get even better offensively. There are two opportunities to make upgrades for the future, as Barca currently don't have a true right-footed left winger. With Robert Lewandowski getting older at 36, there is also the opportunity to go for a young striker who can split minutes with the Polish legend and eventually supplant the former Bundesliga superstar. Here are five star attackers worth Barca's time in the summer 2025 transfer market. Eintracht Frankfurt ST Hugo Ekitike Hugo Ekitike has found his footing in Frankfurt and become one of the most must-see p...

3 left wingers Bayern Munich can sign in summer 2025 transfer window

With Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry clearly on the decline, Bayern Munich are in the market for some more help on the left wing. They already have solutions at striker, attacking midfielder, and right winger in Harry Kane, Jamal Musiala, and Michael Olise, but they need more depth out wide for the 2025/26 season. Bryan Zaragoza, back in LaLiga on loan, is one option on the left wing next season, but Bayern should hedge their bets with another player who can offer more dynamism and be on the pitch more frequently than Coman or Gnabry at this stage of their successful careers. So here are a trio of left wingers Bayern Munich could feasibly sign in the summer 2025 transfer window. Nico Williams, Athletic Club Nico Williams continues to be linked with a move to Bavaria, per BILD's chi...

Arsenal prioritizing a better winger than Leroy Sane in summer 2025 window

Arsenal are in the market for attacking help in the summer 2025 transfer window after paying the price of not signing a top striker in summer 2024, which has been complete annihilation at the hands of Liverpool in the 2024/25 Premier League table. The Gunners will almost assuredly be after a striker in the upcoming summer market, and there is a gamut of strong, emerging options up top such as Benjamin Sesko, Hugo Ekitike, Viktor Gyokeres, Alexander Isak, and potentially more. But Arsenal don't just need a new striker to spice up the attack. The North London giants should also be looking for more wingers. A right winger to back Bukayo Saka up would be nice, but someone to compete heavily with Gabriel Martinelli on the left side should be nearly as big of a priority as a striker. Th...
