Atheltic Club star Nico Williams’ contract expires at the conclusion of current season, and Liverpool are apparently keeping an eye on him.
According to 90min, the Reds are one of four Premier League sides monitoring the Spaniard’s situation with the La Liga side, and Williams is yet to sign a new contract.
Williams, the second fastest player at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, is regarded as one of the best attacking players in Europe as he has proven himself for both club and country.
With Mohamed Salah set to leave Anfield next summer, Williams could be a great signing for Liverpool, especially if the striker fails to agree a new deal with Athletic.
The teenager could explode at one of Europe’s biggest clubs and Liverpool could be a dream destination for Williams under Jurgen Klopp.
Liverpool must increase interest in Nico Williams
Although Williams is yet to score a goal in the league this season, there is no denying that the young Basque is a definite talent for the future.
And for Liverpool, the forward could be a great long-term addition to the squad, especially if Salah heads to Saudi Arabia next year.
With interest from rival clubs peaking, Liverpool must step up their pursuit of Williams while Klopp is in the market.

Liverpool might benefit from Bayern ace’s contract impasse
Even though the transfer window only opens twice a year and lasts for a few weeks, preparations are made all year long to give organizations like Liverpool the best chance of being in front of the line when a deal can be made.
Although there are still deals to be made on deadline day and late window purchases are common due to injuries, if a club has done its homework in the run-up to a window, as the Reds frequently do, then the agreement and contract signing are essentially formalities.
Although those associated with the club and its supporters may not have preferred, there were still players brought in during the summer transfer window, and most of them have been successful.
But as long as players of the highest caliber are still available, Jurgen Klopp must be interested in them.
He is constantly striving for perfection.
Jamal Musiala, a 20-year-old star for Bayern, could be one of them.
According to Christian Falk of SportBILD, Liverpool are interested in the player.
Curiously, his agents are not in contact with the Bavarian powerhouses regarding an extension of his current contract.
The Reds may feel they’ve gained an advantage over their rivals in advance of a future contract discussion, even though there is still a lot of water that could still go under the bridge in this particular situation.

The Premier League has confirmed the return to work of the Tottenham vs. Liverpool VAR blunder official.
Although England and his assistant Dan Cook were both involved in the incident against Tottenham, it has been confirmed that they will play in this weekend’s games.
Following the VAR controversy in Tottenham’s victory over Liverpool, Premier League official Darren England will resume his duties this weekend.
The match at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium featured England on VAR duty when Luis Diaz’s goal was ruled offside by the on-field officials despite replays demonstrating he was clearly onside.
Later, it was discovered that England and his aide Dan Cook thought the field-level decision was actually onside.
They were both removed from participation in games that same weekend and were not chosen for the Premier League games before the break.
However, the Premier League has announced that both are coming back, with England being named the fourth official for Brentford’s match against Burnley on Saturday.
In the meantime, Cook will assist Michael Oliver when Sheffield United plays Manchester United.
The PGMOL released audio from the VAR hub that showed the officials realizing they had made the wrong call after the game had resumed, which led to a significant amount of controversy surrounding the incident.
The chief of referees Howard Webb maintains that the proper procedure was followed despite calls for the game to be stopped.
They thought about interfering in the game to end it, but they realized that is against the rules of the game, which are set by FIFA and the IFAB.
“There’s obviously a process in place that sits in the laws of the game about how we use VAR to ensure that it is delivered consistently throughout every league in the world,” said the official. And it forbids you from returning under those conditions.
They chose not to get involved as a result.
The Merseyside derby between Liverpool and Everton is the opening match of the weekend, and Craig Pawson has been named as the official referee.
David Coote, who served as the VAR referee for a contentious match between the two teams in 2020, will be on the panel.
According to reports, the referee was undecided whether to dismiss Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford for a reckless challenge on Virgil van Dijk that left the defender sidelined for a significant amount of time with an injury.
When Chelsea and Arsenal square off in the London derby, Chris Kavanagh will serve as the referee as the two teams look to build on their recent success.
