A man who received hot attention instead of Jadon Sancho caught the eye of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).

Spain's Football España reported on the 24th (Korea time) 'PSG contacted Nico Williams'

PSG are having a busy summer to fill the void of Kylian Mbappe this summer. As Mbappe heads to Real, the weight of the offense has been greatly reduced, so he is aiming for a top player to fill the position. Victor Osimhen, Marcus Rashford, and Rafael Leão were initially mentioned, but negotiations did not progress easily.

The player who was recently connected to PSG was Sancho. Sancho also fell to the second division last season when he protested to coach Erik tenhach, but he changed the atmosphere with Dortmund's loan in the winter transfer market. He led Dortmund to the European Champions League final and raised its stock price. PSG is said to be able to start negotiations with Manchester United, paying attention to Sancho's talent.

But there was another successor to Mbappe that PSG was really interested in. It was Nico Williams, who led the Spanish national team to the Euro 2024 championship.

Football España said `PSG said Luis Enrique was already familiar with Williams during his time with the Spanish team and had already contacted Williams' agent to confirm a possible transfer.'

Williams is one of the hottest players this summer. PSG, Barcelona, Chelsea, Tottenham, and Arsenal have already shown interest in recruiting Williams. Considering their ability, the interest of big clubs is natural. Williams is a player who can play regardless of left and right wings, and he has excellent quick two-foot dribbling and forward ability, especially in situations where there is space. The main position is the left winger. He is also considered sincere in his participation in defense and pressure. Considering the young age of those born in 2002, growth potential is also high.

In the beginning, the reason why big clubs failed to move forward with Williams' contract quickly was because of his high demand week. Williams, who is currently receiving 170,000 pounds (about 300 million won) from Bilbao, is known to demand up to 300,000 pounds (about 520 million won).

However, PSG is one of the clubs that can meet Williams' needs. It has enormous capital power and can even guarantee a main position through Mbappe's vacancy.

The problem is Williams' intention to stay in Spain. Williams is known to prefer to stay in Spain, and Barcelona is considered the leader in the recruitment campaign. In order for PSG to recruit Williams, it is expected that Barcelona's plan to recruit Williams, which is suffering from financial problems, can be achieved.
