Bayern Munich not giving up on Barcelona top target; offering a net salary of €12 million
The future of Nico Williams remains a hot topic in the transfer market, with Barcelona emerging as the favourite to sign the Spanish forward.
The Catalans reportedly have a personal agreement in place with Nico over a summer switch to Camp Nou, but the deal is far from completed.

In fact, Barcelona are facing renewed pressure from Bayern Munich in the race to sign the Athletic Club winger.
Bayern Munich not giving up on Nico
According to Florian Plettenberg, Bayern Munich remain determined to bring in Nico Williams this summer, having already missed out on Florian Wirtz to Liverpool.
The Sky Sports journalist adds that Bayern have submitted a new offer in the past 48 hours, looking to woo the explosive forward.
The German giants have tabled a lucrative contract offer worth a net salary of €12 million per year, a figure that would significantly test Barcelona's own financial capabilities.

This aggressive move is part of Bayern's strategy to capitalise on any potential hurdles Barça might face, hoping that the Catalans' financial or registration issues could cause their deal to collapse.
However, the player's stance remains a crucial advantage for Barcelona. Nico Williams, after all, is currently not engaging in personal talks with Bayern Munich.
His priority is clear: he is waiting for Barcelona to finalise an agreement with Athletic Club, which is indicative of his commitment to the Blaugrana project.
That said, the offer from Bayern Munich will undoubtedly put pressure on Barcelona as they look to close out the deal as soon as possible.
The coming days, to that end, could prove to be critical as Barcelona look to conjure up enough funds to meet the player's €62 million release clause.

Barcelona star's sale is back on track

A member of the attacking ranks at La Liga heavyweights Barcelona is inching towards the exit door once more. That's according to transfer insider Santi Aouna, who points towards Ansu Fati as the player in question. Advertisement The name of wide-man Ansu has of course been an altogether prominent one in the headlines in Catalunya's capital over recent weeks. This comes after widespread confirmation was forthcoming that the out-of-favour Spaniard had been identified as a leading transfer target on the part of Ligue 1 outfit AS Monaco. Talks, in turn, have long been opened between the respective boards at the Camp Nou and Stade Louis II. Recent days had seen it suggested that negotiations had hit something of a roadblock, as the parties struggled to find common ground on the terms of a deal. As alluded to above, though, if the latest word stemming from the media is anything to go by, then the transfer now appears to be firmly back on track. Advertisement As per a report from Santi Aouna of Foot Mercato: 'The Spanish champions – seeing that no offers were arriving for their protégé – have decided to reconsider their stance (on the terms of a sale). Since then, discussions are moving in the right direction, as we can tell you that they are currently moving towards a loan with Monaco partially covering Fati's salary.' Conor Laird – GSFN
