But the Spaniard has also attracted interest from Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain of late as well. Sport claim that Williams’ agent has received ‘astronomical offers’ from England and France. but they do not name which sides have thrown their hat in the ring.

Barcelona believe they can complete his signing in July and it's thought that the the attacker is willing to lower his salary for a chance to move to the Camp Nou.

Williams ended Spain's Euro 2024 final win over England as UEFA's Player of the Match.

Chelsea need Williams

The Blues have been tracking the youngster since last year and talks of a relatively cheap release clause means that it could be a viable move in terms of the transfer fee.

However, the 22-year-old is already thought to be on a big wage in Bilbao and will expect to receive a pay rise to leave his boyhood club to a Premier League side.

Chelsea are looking to spend more cautiously this summer window, it is believed, and they even dropped out of the race to sign Michael Olise because of the player's financial demands.

Chelsea left-wing targets

Chelsea are in need of a left-winger though and know they need to spend at least a little to ensure that they make a challenge for the top four next season.

Raheem Sterling and Mykhailo Mudryk are the club's first-choice left-wingers but there is a feeling that the club should look to improve.

Mudryk cost an initial €70m and this could yet rise to €100m - has failed to show anything more than raw pace and the occasional spurt of promise since his January 2023 arrival at Stamford Bridge.

Indeed, data analytics firm SciSports back up that the Spaniard is a much better player already and still has a lot more potential to boot.
