Barcelona set to face competition in their bid to sign Nico Williams.
Four Premier League clubs have reportedly stolen the march on Barcelona in the race for the acquisition of Athletic Club's winger Nico Williams.
The Blaugrana famously made a move for the 22-year-old last summer, with club President Joan Laporta all but confirming the intent. However, the young Spain international opted to continue at his boyhood club for at least another season.

Williams on the Premier League's radar
According to a report from Football Espana, these four English top-flight clubs—Manchester United, Tottenham, Arsenal and Chelsea—have all registered interest in the Euros winner, and per the Athletic, Williams is increasingly open to the idea of moving abroad.

Last summer, it was reported that he prioritised a move to Barcelona if he were to leave Athletic Club, as he wanted to remain in Spain, and he has a cordial relationship with some of Barcelona's players from the national team, especially Lamine Yamal; hence, he quickly rejected PSG’s approach.
However, he is now believed to be more welcoming to a move outside Spain, and Barcelona, who are still keeping tabs, are believed to be uninterested in a bidding war and will only return for Williams if he prioritises them.
