Liverpool ready summer move for Mohamed Salah successor who shone at Euro 2024

Liverpool is considering a deal for Nico Williams, a Spanish talent.
Liverpool is getting ready for life after Mohamed Salah, and their main aim to cover the huge hole that can be left on the right wing is Nico Williams, a promising Spanish winger for Athletic Club.

The 22-year-old Williams has drawn interest from a number of European heavyweights as Salah’s future at Anfield becomes uncertain, but Liverpool is positioned to make him their top signing if Salah leaves in the summer, according to Fichajes.

Nico Williams, who debuted for Athletic Bilbao’s first team, has grown into one of La Liga’s most promising prospects.

He is an exceptional player for both his club and the Spanish national team because of his lightning-fast speed, deft dribbling technique, and talent for getting past defences. While he hasn’t scored many goals this season (2024–25), his exploits at the most recent European Championship, where he was instrumental in Spain’s victory, have cemented his status as one of Europe’s brightest young players.

Nico Williams may be Liverpool’s next Mohamed Salah.
Salah’s future at Anfield is questionable.
Williams is of interest to Liverpool at a time when rumours about Salah’s future at the team are intensifying. The Egyptian sensation is reportedly considering a transfer away from Anfield, therefore the Reds are looking into alternatives for him in their lethal offensive frontline.

There would be a huge void left by Salah, who has been Liverpool’s right side talisman for many years, and Williams seems to be the best man to fill it.

Arne Slot, the manager of Liverpool, finds Williams appealing because of his versatility in the game and his explosiveness in the closing third.

Williams is a player who the Dutch coach, who is well-known for emphasising fast-paced, high-intensity game, loves for his ability to stretch defenders and open up scoring opportunities from a variety of wide locations. The young Spaniard’s possible signing may usher in a new era for the Reds’ offensive style and guarantee that the team stays among Europe’s most formidable offensive units.

Liverpool are eyeing a move for Spanish star Nico Williams.

Is a new era at Liverpool upon us?

Williams’s Competition Heats Up
Although Liverpool is driving the chase for Nico Williams, other teams are also considering the winger. Manchester United, FC Barcelona, and other European heavyweights have also been linked with the Spaniard, meaning Liverpool will face stiff competition in securing his signature. Given that he supposedly has a release clause in his contract with Athletic Bilbao, the outcome of any possible transaction will probably depend on who can move swiftly and aggressively.

The summer of 2019 may be crucial in deciding if Williams can join Liverpool at Anfield. With Salah’s future up in the air, the Reds are positioning themselves to make a significant move, and securing a player of Williams’ calibre would ensure that Liverpool’s attack continues to thrive even if their Egyptian star decides to move on.

Nico Williams is the ideal addition to Liverpool’s long-term plan. Williams’ signing might mark the beginning of a new chapter for the Reds, keeping their assault as strong and dynamic as ever, should Salah’s tenure at Anfield come to an end. Williams’ type of player is something Liverpool will be familiar with having scouted him last summer. Given what we saw of him at the Euros, the Reds should be doing all they can to secure his services.
