Although he is said to have a £60million release clause, he is on a high salary, reportedly earning €7–8m (£5–6m) per year at Bilbao.
Earlier this week, football.london reported that Bilbao have initiated talks to renew his contract. Give Me Sport’s Ben Jacobs reported that parties have been discussing a salary which would exceed £8.4m (€10m) and that there may be an increase to his existing £49m (€58m) release clause.

Meanwhile, other interested clubs believe that Williams’ wage demands and agent fees would make him too expensive.
