Arsenal's hopes to sign Athletic Bilbao's promising winger, Nico Williams, has hit a roadblock due to salary demands.
The 22-year-old Spanish international has a release clause of £50.4 million, but according to reports by The Athletic, his salary expectations might make the transfer unattainable for the Gunners.
Williams, who has been a standout performer for both club and country, particularly during the recent European Championships, is also not pushing for a move away from La Liga.
This further complicates Arsenal's efforts to secure his services.
This development comes as a blow to Arsenal, who are keen on reinforcing their attacking options with a player of Williams' caliber, known for his speed, dribbling, and versatility on the wing.
However, the financial aspects appear to be the decisive factor in the transfer.
