The race to sign Nico Williams is heating up, with Bayern Munich reigniting their pursuit of the highly-rated Spanish winger of Ghanaian descent.

According to reports from Germany, the Bundesliga champions have submitted a significantly improved offer to Athletic Club within the past 24 hours. The new bid includes a lucrative financial package, with €2 million in performance-based bonuses added to sweeten the deal. Crucially, Bayern have also made it clear they are willing to meet the player’s release clause, signaling their serious intent to land the 22-year-old.

This move comes just a week after Nico Williams reportedly expressed his preference to join Barcelona. While the player has yet to issue a formal statement, Barça’s Sporting Director Deco confirmed the winger’s interest in a recent interview.

> “Yes, Nico Williams wants to come… and we will try. Nico, same as other players, is showing a strong desire to come… and if the right conditions are met in his case, we’ll definitely try to complete the deal,” Deco told La Vanguardia.

Despite Bayern’s renewed push, Barcelona remain frontrunners in the race for Nico’s signature. The final decision may now rest on which club meets both Athletic Club’s terms and the player’s personal ambitions.
