BREAKING NEWS: “Man United and Barcelona Came With Good Offers, But I Chose Liverpool Because of Him” – Nico Williams Reveals the ONE Player Who Convinced Him to Join Reds.
In a stunning turn of events that has sent shockwaves through the transfer world, Nico Williams has officially confirmed his decision to join Liverpool, turning down strong offers from both Manchester United and Barcelona. The Spanish winger, fresh off an electric season with Athletic Club and a standout campaign with Spain at EURO 2024, revealed the surprising reason behind his Anfield move — and it’s all down to one Liverpool player.
“Manchester United and Barcelona came with very good offers, big projects, and a lot of promises. But I chose to join Liverpool because of one person — I don’t want anything that will jeopardize our friendship. I hope I won’t regret my decision later, but it feels right,” Williams said in an exclusive interview with COPE.
The 21-year-old sensation didn’t keep fans guessing for long. He went on to name Florian Wirtz — Liverpool’s most recent marquee signing from Bayer Leverkusen — as the key figure behind his decision.
“Florian and I have been close for a long time. We understand each other on and off the pitch. He told me what Liverpool is building — and I believed him. When you have a bond like that, it’s more than football, it’s trust.”
Williams also expressed excitement about playing alongside Mohamed Salah, calling the opportunity “an honour.”
“To play with Mo is a dream. He’s a legend. Add Florian to that, and I think we can build something special.”
Liverpool fans are already buzzing about the prospect of a Williams-Wirtz-Salah front line under Arne Slot, with many calling it a new era for the club’s attack.
