It was one of the big soap operas of the summer. After a brilliant Euro 2024 with the Roja, being one of the main architects of the coronation of the Iberian selection, Nico Williams was coveted by several big clubs. Among them, FC Barcelona, which seemed the hottest in this case, but also by Paris Saint-Germain, where Luis Enrique is particularly a fan of the Basque winger. English bigwigs were also on the case.
Finally, he decided to stay with his training club for one more season. After the match lost by his team against Atlético de Madrid (1-0), he spoke for the first time to discuss his future. “Athletic is everything to me. I’ve had offers from clubs that many would have accepted. But I’m happy here. My agent is the one who manages that, I’ve decided to be here one more year and I’m going to enjoy the European competitions.”the European champion first declared to DAZN.
One more year, and then what?
“Many people doubted my willingness to stay here. But I have always received positive messages. I have shown that I love Athletic with all my soul, even though I have had many offers on the table. I want to be here one more year and enjoy Europe with Athletic. After the holidays, I spoke with my parents, my brother, and I made this decision to stay one more year. The feeling of Athletic is unique. And it is the best place to progress.”concluded the Spanish striker.
A media release that is still getting people talking across the Pyrenees, since in his comments, Williams only mentions the idea of staying one more season. Does this mean that he has already planned to leave next summer? In any case, that is what the Catalan press in particular seems to think, and there is no doubt that this saga will just be put on hold for a few months to start up again next summer…
