"Manchester United are preparing a move to pay his clause and get him out of Athletic Bilbao. Williams could undoubtedly be a useful option for United's squad, though on current form there's no guarantee he'd get into their starting XI on a regular basis."
"Williams has only four goals and two assists in 19 La Liga games, which is not the kind of player you pay close to 100m for. There are perhaps signs that he's going backwards, so given that MUFC already have pretty good attacking options, there doesn't seem to be much need for them to pay this much for Williams."
"If Williams can get back to his best, then there's no doubt this could be a good deal, while it might also be worth pursuing if they can get him for a lot less than 100m. For now, though, he's far too expensive and out of form, so there must be better options out there for United."
Manchester United is preparing to activate Nico Williams' release clause at Athletic Bilbao this summer, with the Spanish winger reportedly willing to leave. The 23-year-old has been one of Europe's most exciting young attacking talents, but his performance has declined this season with only four goals and two assists in 19 La Liga games. His release clause is reportedly close to €100 million. While Williams could strengthen United's squad, his current form raises concerns about justifying such a significant investment. United already possess solid attacking options, making the expensive transfer questionable. The deal receives a low-medium transfer fit rating, suggesting better alternatives may exist at a lower cost.
