Nico Williams will face FC Barcelona on August 24th at Montjuic!

Nico Williams continues to play with FC Barcelona. After a report that highlighted that the Navarrese had given the "yes" to the culé team for his transfer, Athletic Club has revealed that the winger will have the honour of wearing the number '10' in Bilbao in this 2024/25 season. A clear message to the Blaugrana board that he will not go anywhere.

The winner of the Euro 2024 was quite happy in a video shared by his club, where he comments that he feels "very proud to be able to wear that number" and that he wants to make history like the historic player of the Basque institution, Iker Muniaín. This could be the final blow for the team from the Ciudad Condal, who will have to start accepting that they are not going to sign him this summer.

Williams will face Barcelona on August 24

This Saturday, August 17, Hansi Flick's team will make its debut in the new LaLiga season against Valencia at Mestalla. Just one week later, on the 24th, they will host Nico Williams and Athletic Club at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys for matchday 2. This will be the first match of the team managed by the German at home, so it will be a very special day and a gala eleven is expected against the Bilbao team.

Without a doubt, it will be interesting to see how the fans will welcome the winger, who they expected to see playing the match in the Barça shirt. The board has done everything they could to secure his services, but it has been the player who has had the last word and, barring a miracle in the last few days, everything seems to indicate that Nico will play as a visitor and not as a home team at Montjuic.
