It will be interesting to see if this is why Tottenham are under pressure from their scouts, as other teams could advance on this file, and it might be too late for them to make up ground in discussions.

Several top European clubs are keeping a close watch on Stade Rennais’ young talent, Désiré Doué. The teenager will be part of the French squad looking to win a gold medal on home soil.

Doué and his teammates played a contest against Paraguay on Wednesday and the Stated Rennais star provided an excellent pass to Rayan Cherki. If he performs like this at the Olympics, it will be interesting to see if any club decides to become more aggressive to ensure a deal happens.

Several top European clubs are eyeing Stade Rennais’ Désiré Doué, with Bayern Munich, Manchester United, and Paris Saint-Germain all showing interest in the teenager.

According to a recent report from CaughtOffside, Williams has caught the interest of several top clubs, including Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham, Barcelona, and PSG.

Athletic Club’s Nico Williams has turned heads across top European clubs after an outstanding 2023-24 season. Moreover, the 21-year-old’s impressive performance at UEFA Euro 2024 has likely generated more significant interest.

Paris Saint-Germain has recently been eyeing talented wingers like Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, but tough negotiations with Napoli have led them to consider other options.

A recent report from CaughtOffside reveals that Williams is on the radar of several major clubs, including Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham, Barcelona, and PSG.

The latest information on this file from SPORT gives good news for Barcelona as Williams’ priority is to join Barcelona, even though Chelsea have made a dizzying financial offer.

Still, a move to the Catalan side will be challenging. SPORT recently reported that Athletic Club is not open to negotiating with the Catalan team and is instead pointing to the termination clause.

There is also speculation that Barça wanted to pay the total amount in multiple installments, but Bilbao isn’t willing to accept that. Williams featured in 37 matches across all competitions, scoring nine goals and providing 19 assists.

Athletic Club’s Nico Williams has caught the eye of many top European clubs after an impressive 2023-24 season with the Spanish side. Williams featured in 37 matches across all competitions, scoring nine goals and providing 19 assists.

According to a recent report from CaughtOffside, Williams has caught the interest of several top clubs, including Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham, Barcelona, and PSG.

However, Barcelona might have the biggest hurdle of the clubs keen on the 21-year-old. Recently, SPORT reported that Athletic are unwilling to negotiate with the Catalan team and is referring to the termination clause.

There has been talk that Barça wanted to pay the total amount in several installments, something that their La Liga rival will not accept either. Moreover, SPORT reports (h/t Diario AS) that some people in Barcelona are skeptical about signing Nico Williams.

They believe that even though the Athletic player knew Barcelona was interested last season, he still chose to renew his contract with the Basque team.

Moreover, some board members think his decision to stay with Athletic has put Barcelona at a disadvantage, as they now have to negotiate with the Basque club.

Olympique Lyonnais standout Rayan Cherki could be forcing his way to Paris Saint-Germain. The 20-year-old is linked to various top clubs, including Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur, in addition to the capital club.

Last season, the Parisians scooped up Bradley Barcola from OL. Could they land the player for a second straight summer? Well, if Cherki has the situation go as he wants, then a move to the reigning Ligue 1 champions will happen.

A recent report from L’Equipe revealed that PSG had made a first offer to Les Gones, tabling a bid of €15 million plus an additional €3 million in bonuses. However, that proposal was rejected due to Lyon’s insistence on including a substantial sell-on clause in any potential deal.

In his latest column for PSG Extra Time, journalist Robin Bairner shared his opinion on the transfer rumor and noted his concern over Cherki’s inability to crack through at Lyon to become a regular starter.

“Kylian Mbappé’s mother, Fayza Lamari, is reportedly advising him, so given the friction between the future Real Madrid player’s family and PSG, negotiations must be tense,” Bairner wrote. “Indeed, Foot Mercato has indicated that Nasser Al-Khelaifi is reluctant to sanction a move because of this.

“Furthermore, there’s an element of Hatem Ben Arfa about this deal, whereby a maverick winger is signed by PSG only for his flawed genius to be exposed to the world. It wouldn’t necessarily happen to Cherki, of course, but having failed to make the breakthrough in Lyon, could he do it at PSG?”

Paris Saint-Germain aim to bolster their wing play following Kylian Mbappé’s imminent move to Real Madrid this summer. Recent reports suggest the Ligue 1 champions are eyeing replacements, with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia among those linked.

However, negotiations with Napoli have proven challenging, prompting PSG to consider alternative options. One emerging candidate is Athletic Club’s Nico Williams, drawing attention due to his ties with Spanish football and likely monitoring by manager Luis Enrique.

According to CaughtOffside, several top clubs, including Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham, Barcelona, and PSG, have shown interest in the 21-year-old winger.

Jonathan Johnson from CBS Sports spoke on the latest episode of PSG Talking and weighed in about the possibility of Williams coming to the French capital this summer.

“Nico Williams is somebody who’s been linked with a number of Premier League clubs as well,” Johnson said. “The issue with somebody like that, when you look at where he is right now, Athletic Club are known for not needing to do anything in terms of negotiating the sales of their players.

“They literally say the same thing to every single club that comes forward for any of their homegrown talents and that’s that you pay the release clause or the player doesn’t move, and the release clause, although he’s an extremely talented player, is pretty high.

“So I think that’s initially something that, you know, we’ll see a lot of clubs pump the brakes when looking at him, but he does look every bit the kind of player who could justify that kind of price tag in the future. So it could be a question of which club is able to do a deal like that now, because they won’t look like they were ripped off.”

The winger has a €58 million release clause, so it will be interesting to see what club decides to pay that sum. Williams played 37 matches across all competitions, scoring nine goals and registering 19 assists.
