Bayern Munich remain on standby for Barcelona top target with €12 million contract offer ready | OneFootball

According to a fresh update from Florian Plettenberg, Bayern Munich are still keeping a close eye on Barcelona’s ongoing efforts to sign Nico Williams.

The German champions are on standby, ready to move in if Barça’s deal for the Athletic Club star falls apart.

In fact, it is said that Bayern have submitted a second official offer for Nico, which includes a tempting net salary of €12 million per year, which is significantly higher than what Barcelona are currently proposing.

Today’s latest update on Nico Williams has only confirmed what many already suspected: Barcelona are racing against time to secure the winger’s signature.

While the player has already given clear signals about his desire to join Barça, the club’s financial constraints mean there is still uncertainty over whether they can complete the transfer and register him with La Liga in time.

Bayern Munich have had Nico on their radar for a long time. They see him as a perfect addition to strengthen their wings and add depth to the attack.

Unlike Barcelona, Bayern have the financial flexibility to offer a much bigger wage package, as seen in their latest proposal.

However, sources close to the player insist that Nico’s priority is a move to Barcelona, where he dreams of playing under Hansi Flick and joining the exciting new project at Camp Nou.

Despite Bayern’s best efforts to lure him with a higher salary, the 22-year-old Spanish international seems determined to follow his heart.

Barcelona remain focused on closing the deal, knowing that any delay or failure on their part could open the door for Bayern to swoop in.

Hence, the coming days will be crucial as Barcelona work to finalise the agreement and ensure they do not lose one of their top targets to a major European rival.
