According to journalist Fabrice Hawkins, PSG are now trying to reach an agreement with the Spanish attacker on personal terms.
Williams is seen as a potential replacement for Kylian Mbappe, who left PSG to join UEFA Champions League holders Real Madrid on a free transfer.
While PSG are working hard to get an agreement, the report adds they are still second favourites behind the Catalan giants who are also in talk with the player's camp.
Reports in Spain claim that Barcelona are getting ready to activate William's €58million release clause despite their ongoing financial issues.
As for PSG, they have been linked with a move for Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho while reports suggest they are still in talks over a potential deal for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.
