Liverpool is closely monitoring various transfer targets at Euro 2024.

 

The tournament in Germany is approaching the end of its second week, with the Group Stage nearly completed.

 

It has been a rather disappointing tournament for Liverpool players so far. Scotland, led by Andy Robertson, has already been eliminated, and there is criticism surrounding Virgil van Dijk and the Netherlands.

 

Trent Alexander-Arnold is also facing challenges this summer, with Gary Neville suggesting that he will be ‘devastated’ by England’s current situation.

 

Despite all of that, the tournament has proven to be quite enjoyable. Moreover, Liverpool fans may have the opportunity to cheer on some of the competition’s standout players at Anfield.

 

Liverpool remains in contention for Nico Williams.

 

As time progresses and more teams exit the Euros, the transfer market is expected to gain momentum.

 

Thus far, the transfer window has been relatively quiet as teams await the conclusion of the international tournaments.

 

Liverpool is no exception, with head coach Arne Slot yet to secure his first signing.

 

At present, it appears probable that the initial addition to the squad will be a new center-back. Liverpool is actively maintaining communication with Lille regarding Leny Yoro, for instance.

 

In addition to securing a new defensive player, Slot is actively seeking to acquire an attacker.

 

Among the players who have been linked to the club, one standout is Spain’s winger Nico Williams, who has been impressing at the Euros.

 

Journalist Ben Jacobs suggests that Liverpool should not be overlooked as potential contenders in the pursuit of this formidable forward, who has been described as “scary” by opposing defenders at Euro 2024.

 

According to Jacobs’ remarks in The Daily Briefing, Nico Williams, the talented winger from Athletic Bilbao, is making a significant impact for Spain in the ongoing Euro 2024 tournament.

 

However, potential suitors are aware that finalizing a deal may present challenges.

 

According to the reporter, Williams’ release clause exceeds £45m, which is considered a good value in the market. However, the overall cost of the transfer is still high due to taxes and Williams’ expected wage of over £200k-per-week.

 

The reporter mentions that Chelsea has already ruled out making a bid for Williams as they pursued Michael Olise instead.

 

Barcelona acknowledges the player’s talent but finds the price tag too steep. On the other hand, Williams is highly interested in a move to Barcelona.

 

Additionally, both Arsenal and Liverpool are actively searching for a winger this summer, making them potential contenders for Williams’ signature.

 

Nico Williams aiming to become the top earner at Liverpool has raised concerns, as Jacobs points out, due to his exorbitant wage requests.

 

According to journalist Graeme Bailey, Williams is seeking to be the highest-paid player at Liverpool if he joins the club. However, it is highly unlikely for this to materialize.

 

Williams, aged 21, has showcased his talent, especially with an outstanding performance against Italy this summer, gaining recognition from a broader audience.

 

Former Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge, for instance, commended Williams for his impressive performance against the Italians.

 

Daniel Sturridge, the ex-Liverpool forward, commended Williams for his performance against the Italians.

 

However, despite this, the Athletic Bilbao player is still in the early stages of his career and has not yet proven himself enough to justify such a high salary.

 

In our opinion, Liverpool will only consider signing Williams if he reduces his wage demands significantly.
