According to TBR Football, Chelsea face competition from Arsenal and Liverpool, who are also interested in the Spanish international.
Williams is reportedly keen on a move to Barcelona, but the Catalan club may not prioritise his signing.
Chelsea's interest in Williams comes amid doubts about Jadon Sancho's permanent transfer. The Englishman, currently on loan from Manchester United, has had a steady season, but the West London club may not pursue a permanent deal.
If Sancho does not stay, Chelsea will need to reinforce their wing positions, and Williams is seen as a potential replacement, highlighting why the Blues are reportedly intensifying their efforts to sign him.
What next for Chelsea?
The Blues return to top-flight action after the international break with Tottenham Hotspur visiting Stamford Bridge on April 3.
