Chelsea unlikely to move for Nico Williams - Fabrizio Romano

Chelsea are unlikely to make an approach for Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The west London giants are aiming to sign a new winger and they were recently fancied to land Michael Olise from Crystal Palace.

Talks were held with the Frenchman for several weeks, but they eventually backed down due to the wage demands of the attacker.

Olise wanted a staggering salary of more than £300,000 per week. The Blues were quite clear astonished by the demands made from him.

Romano now reports that the Blues have an appreciation for Williams, but they are unlikely to make a formal approach for his services.

Just like Olise, his current financial package is considered 'too expensive' and they are likely to look at alternative options this summer.

It will take £49m plus taxes to purchase him while his wage demands could be on the higher side too. He is currently on £169,000 per week.
