RUMORS: Liverpool willing to meet buyout clause of Bilbao's Inaki Williams

Liverpool is prepared to meet the buyout clause of Athletic Bilbao forward Inaki Williams, according to Spanish publication Mundo Deportivo.

The 22-year-old Spain Under-21 international has emerged as a top target for Jurgen Klopp, and the Reds are determined to avoid missing out on a player who should improve further in the years to come.

Bilbao is believed to be holding out for the full 50 million euro ($54.4M) stipulated in Williams’ contract, but those at Anfield believe even that would be money well spent on a player who has developed at a rapid rate in the last couple of seasons.
