The Athletic Club is already beginning to prepare for the scenario of losing Nico Williams in the upcoming summer transfer market. With the red-and-white attacker on the radar of giants like FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, Arsenal, Chelsea, and PSG, the Bilbao team has set its sights on Borja Sainz, currently at Norwich City, as a viable alternative to strengthen the squad.

Sainz, partially trained at Lezama, has proven to be a versatile attacker with a goal-scoring instinct. After notable spells at Alavés, Real Zaragoza, and a stint in Turkey, the player landed at Norwich in 2023, where he has had an impressive season with 16 goals and 2 assists in 26 matches. This offensive productivity makes him an attractive prospect for the team led by Ernesto Valverde.

Despite having a contract with Norwich until 2026, Athletic could try to negotiate his signing at a reasonable price, especially if Williams' departure materializes. The Basque club, which historically favors players of local origin or training, sees in Sainz a strategic addition, not only for his quality but also for his previous understanding of the red-and-white philosophy.

The potential departure of Nico Williams, whose commitment to Athletic runs until 2027, would represent a significant loss. However, with the signing of Álvaro Djalo last summer and the presence of Álex Berenguer and Iñaki Williams, the team seems determined not to be left unprotected on the wings. With Sainz on the horizon, Athletic continues to demonstrate its ability to adapt and maintain competitiveness, even in the face of challenges in the transfer market.
