Nico Williams will open the season for Athletic Club
Athletic Club has spent much of the preseason worrying about Nico Williams’ future.
After scoring in Spain’s 2024 Euro final victory against England, the 22-year-old has been the subject of intense transfer rumors, with Barcelona reportedly offering him a €30 million transfer fee.
The trail has dried up for La Blaugrana, though, despite the persistent rumors that the Catalans are nearing a deal.As Williams resumes preseason training in Bilbao on August 12, any remaining possibility of a move by Barcelona becomes crucial.
Williams will sit this one out since his team is certain he will be ready to dive headfirst into the season opener. The Basque side is leaving Spain for two last friendly this week.
Marca reports that head coach Ernesto Valverde isn’t hesitant to start Williams in the La Liga opener against Getafe on August 15 at home.
A European team might hijack Man Utd’s transfer for a midfielder
Midfielder Sofyan Amrabat of Fiorentina is reportedly being courted by both Manchester United and Fenerbahce.
While on loan to Manchester United, the Moroccan midfielder struggled mightily.
Although he did not start a game until the last month of the season, he did appear in 30 total games for the Red Devils.
After unable to bolster their midfield this summer, the Red Devils are considering re-signing the 28-year-old for the forthcoming season at Old Trafford.
With the acquisitions of Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro, Erik ten Hag has brought in a total of two players this summer.
He hopes to strengthen his team this summer, especially in the midfield, but the former manager of Manchester United could derail his ambitions.
The Moroccan star Sofyan Amrabat has allegedly been approached by Fenerbahce, who are managed by Jose Mourinho, for a second time, according to the Turkish daily Fanatik, via Football Italia.
The transfer status of the midfielder is still up in the air for Manchester United.
Manuel Ugarte, a midfielder for Paris Saint-Germain, is their key summer transfer target, although they are not even close to signing him.
The French champions and the Premier League heavyweights have been at odds about the transfer fee for the midfielder.
No one knows if Manchester United can persuade PSG to sell Ugarte to them, but they’ll need to move quickly.
The Premier League season is about to begin in less than two weeks, and the club is anticipated to continue its impressive transfer activity with similarly astute acquisitions.
Manchester United won the FA Cup with Sofyan Amrabat’s help.Having failed to impress during his loan stint with Manchester United last season, Amrabat is hardly the type of player who would thrill United supporters.
Despite his early struggles and lack of playing time, manager Erik ten Hag has faith in the player due to their shared experience in the Dutch division.
In addition to his usual role as defensive midfielder, Amrabat had action at fullback.
Although he had a lackluster performance, he did help the club win silverware last season by assisting in their FA Cup final victory over Manchester City.
