Nico Williams continues to give clues about his almost confirmed future

All eyes are on Nico Williams. FC Barcelona and Athletic Club maintain their particular 'give and take', with the red and white entity sending messages and putting more and more pressure on him to confirm his stay and the Catalans awaiting the player's final decision. Ernesto Valverde once again gave 'wings' to the culés in his last statements, where he did not close the exit door, but the truth is that only the Navarrese knows what will happen in his future.

While the debate about his next destination is 'red hot', the winger remains silent on the sidelines. A 'deafening' silence for both the people of Bilbao and the Barcelona fans, who want to have a concrete answer from Nico who has limited himself to giving some clue that would allow them to deduce what the next step in his career is. In that sense, the player had a new gesture with his current team through his social networks that could be an indication of his choice for next season.

And the lions will open the 2024/25 LaLiga season this Thursday, August 15, against Getafe in San Mamés. A game in which the youngest Williams is expected to be part, although it is unknown if he will start or come off the bench, since he rejoined training a little over a week ago. To promote the match, the forward published a 'story' on his Instagram account, an image in which he is seen celebrating a goal wearing the colors of Athletic Club.

This new detail joins a series of gestures that have sparked speculation about his final decision. His anticipated return to the discipline of the Bilbao first team, added to the fact that the footballer took over from Iker Muniain, club legend, and would wear the number '10' the following season, seemed to make the player's position clear. Valverde's words ("the market is open until the 30th") once again left his future in the air, but this last clue from Nico could reveal his fate.

Barça remains on the lookout

For their part, Can Barça remains alert and has not ruled out Nico's arrival 100%. The culés are in search of a 'plan B' to cover their backs in case the attacker confirms his continuity in Bilbao, with Luis Díaz and Kingsley Coman being the favorites of the sports management and Hansi Flick. However, if the Navarrese's option is put back on the table, the Catalans are quite clear that it would be a priority and they would activate the machinery to close the contract for him. But, given the uncertainty surrounding the player's future, the Blaugranas are now moving cautiously.
