Bayern make a move for Nico; Barca remain calm

For the second year running, Nico Williams is once again one of the names of the summer. After ultimately staying at Athletic last transfer window, a move this time seems somewhat more likely, with Barcelona and Bayern Munich both chasing the Spanish international.

The 'Azulgranas' are in the lead and believe that Nico will ultimately arrive in the Catalan capital, but 'Bild' claims that Bayern Munich have not given up and will make one last push.

In fact, the aforementioned outlet indicated that Max Eberl, general manager of the Bavarian club, has left the United States, where the team is playing in the Club World Cup, to return to Germany and try to convince Nico Williams.

"There was no particular reason, but we sat down and decided to separate. There are some conversations pending, it will be in European time and we think it's a good option right now," Christoph Freund, Bayern's sporting director, told 'DAZN' about Eberl's departure.

A few weeks ago, Bayern already tried to sign Nico Williams before the Club World Cup, but negotiations did not progress. Now they are resuming them, although Barcelona are in the lead.

Thus, 'Marca' reports, the 'Azulgrana' club is very calm despite Bayern's latest movements. And they are sure that Nico Williams will be 'Cule' player before August 30.
