Aston Villa’s failed transfers
Unai Emery wanted a deal for Nico Williams to be confirmed. It is reported that the player rejected the manager twice and now everything is expected from Monchi. Nico Williams is enjoying a great season with Athletic Bilbao with 12 goal contributions this season. He also got appearance for the Spanish national team where he scored once and gave 3 assists.
Williams signed a new contract with Athletic back in December, although that only insured that he would not leave on a free (as his previous deal ran out this summer). His release clause has stayed at €50m, which is a very attractive price, especially for those with massive funds in the Premier League. With addition of Champions League football Williams will be tempted for a move to the Premier League Side.
Even though Athletic Bilbao are enjoying a wonderful season with Europa League in side if extra champions League spot is not taken through the new rules. It will be interesting to see where the Spanish winger will end up despite links with Chelsea and Liverpool as well
