Momentum is gathering behind Liverpool‘s proposed move for Spain sensation Nico Williams.

It is known that the winger will be made available this summer, but reports suggest an estimated request of £300,000-per-week in wages is going to be a big issue.

It would rocket Williams to the second highest earner at Anfield behind Mohamed Salah, who also finds himself in contract limbo with only 12 months remaining on his current deal.

Liverpool do not have history for bringing in players and immediately making them the top earner, which suggests the FSG ownership may return to the drawing board.
