Premier League team Aston Villa showed interest in Nico Williams but were put off by his wage demands.

Aston Villa have also been interested in Nico Williams but have been put off by the financial package required to sign him, including his wage demands.

Chelsea and Aston Villa have both been put off a potential deal for Athletic Club's Nico Williams due to his wage demands. Williams has been linked with a summer move to several Premier League clubs following a stellar 2023/24 season, but several of his suitors from England are cooling their interest in him. The Spain international signed a new contract at Athletic back in December. It featured a release clause worth €50m (£43m), which would represent a relatively modest transfer fee, but personal terms are likely to prove a stumbling block regarding an exit. Williams is already earning around €200,000-per-week and would expect more than this should he make a switch.
