After a superb 2022/2023 season and a more than successful Euro with La Roja, Nico Williams is at a turning point in his career. Coveted and relatively affordable with his clause around 60 million euros, he is one of the big players in the transfer window. FC Barcelona wants to enlist him but is facing financial difficulties that are already well known to all, while Paris Saint-Germain has arrived in force in this case.
A complex case, while the player was on vacation, and the Iberian press distributes information drop by drop. We learned yesterday that the player had already made a decision, still unknown to the media and the general public, of course. At the same time, there was also talk of a new contract with a salary revised upwards to convince him to stay at Athletic.
A strong promise
Then, Sport made a new revelation this Monday. We learn that the player had made a promise to his entourage, which seriously compromises his chances of going to Paris or Barcelona this summer. He thus promised his brother Iñaki that the two would play at least one season together in the European Cup with Athletic. So it would be the coming season… And that’s not all.
In the Williams clan, where there is a strong attachment to Athletic and the Basque Country, it is also preferred that the younger brother stays at least one more season with his training club. Under contract until 2027, the player would be, according to the media, rather convinced by the idea of taking into account the advice of his family. Suffice to say that this saga is likely to last for a while yet…
