Uncertainty surrounds Nico Williams' future. Athletic are convinced that he will stay at the club for another year, but new information suggests that the player has not yet rejected FC Barcelona's offer
Nico Williams is the star of the transfer market in Spain. The player is already in Bilbao and is expected to join pre-season training on August 12, as planned after resting following his victory at Euro 2024, where he was one of the big stars.
Before starting to prepare for the 2024/2025 season, he is expected to announce the club where he will play in the future. The 'rojiblancos' are convinced that he will continue for another year with the team and reject Barcelona's offer. This information coincides with that of 'El Partidazo de COPE', who on August 5 announced that the player has already made the decision on what his next destination will be, which would not be either the Catalan team or PSG.
The Spanish media would have confirmed this information through PSG itself, because his agent, Felix Tainta, told the Parisians that the Spanish international has decided to continue at San Mamés. Although this is not official, another point of view has now emerged. As 'Jijantes' explained, no one from the player's entourage has contacted the Barcelona club to inform them that the player will continue at Athletic.
The final decision could come this week
Nothing is defined yet and anything could happen. The winger already knows the offer from Barça, so it will be necessary to wait to know their decision. The sports management, headed by Deco, has met several times with the player's agent and is willing to pay his termination clause, valued at 58 million euros. However, they must first obtain the 40 million unpaid by Libero in the Barça Studios operation, because without that money, they will not be able to operate under the 1-1 rule.
The youngest of the Williams brothers has been under great pressure from all sides in recent weeks. In Bilbao, fans, directors and players want him to stay at San Mamés. In fact, Athletic's president has publicly expressed his discontent with the Catalan team, which remains firmly awaiting the Spaniard's decision. The resolution of this case should not be delayed, because La Liga starts next week.
