Nico Williams (22) is spoiled for choice, but this choice looks like a real headache! Freshly crowned European champion with the Spanish team, the hard-hitting winger from Athletic has taken full advantage of his excellent performances at Euro 2024 to send his stock skyrocketing.
Announced as leaving for FC Barcelona, the player saw Paris Saint-Germain land in this case. The French champions also have the appearance of the courtier capable of ruining the Culers’ life since they have the necessary liquidity to pay the release clause of Nico Williams (€58 million), which Barça is struggling to do. Faced with these two interests, Athletic does not want to give up just yet.
Athletic does not give up
The Basque club knows that its star has a preference for Barça at the expense of PSG’s millions. The player would have even asked his agent to put all offers on hold except that of the Catalans. But Bilbao does not want to sell him. Sport And World Sports also announce that Nico Williams is facing enormous pressure, especially from his club. Indeed, after Ernesto Valverde, it was captain Óscar de Marcos who broke his silence to convince his teammate to stay.
“My opinion is that the best thing for Nico is to continue at Athletic. Because he is 22 years old, because his coach has given him incredible playing time and because he will keep him for another year. All that glitters is not necessarily gold.” Will Nico Williams be receptive to this advice or will he confirm his desire to evolve alongside his friend Lamine Yamal?
