Athletic continues to believe that Nico Williams will reject Barça and will continue until 2025

The past Thursday 12 July, the president of the Athletic Club of Bilbao, Jon Uriarte, went out to the crossing with the aim to put him brake to the 'hostigamiento' to the that has seen subjected Nico Williams regarding his future. The destination of the extreme is one of the greater incógnitas of the market of signings, by what the player is interrogated in this regard in each his apparition in front of the microphones of the press. A situation that does not like at all in Saint Mamés, where 'rajaron' against the RFEF by "not protecting" to the forward.

The navarro is tied until 2027 with the entity of Ibaigane, where trust to retain him, at least, by a season more. "The Athletic Club is qualified economic, social and deportivamente to keep in his structure to footballers of the size of the appointed, included Nico Williams", ensured Uriarte in his plea, leaving clear that in the Basque Country do not pretend to give off of one of his maximum figures.

This intention has been confirmed by the newspaper 'ACE', where sustain that the Lions are convinced that Williams will follow dressing the T-shirt rojiblanca the following season. However, they are conscious that all will change in the summer of 2025, supposing that the player of 21 years continue with his imparable projection and was 'impossible' retain him in front of the insistence of the Premier League or of some big of Europe.

In this sense, the FC Barcelona is the maximum interested in doing with the services of Nico. The culés are connoisseurs that the Athletic Club is not a team seller and that will remit to the clause of whole rescission of the attacker (without terms neither fringes), which is valuada in 58 million euros. Besides, in Bilbao the anger is capital with the Barcelona square and Joan Laporta by the pressure exerted on Williams, by what the operation will not be simple for the culés.

A 'mirror' in which look

In spite of all this, the final word of Nico would have weight in the resolution of his 'serial'. The player is very arropado by his surroundings and the changing room, where figures like his brother Iñaki or Unai Simón advise him and guide him. In fact, the guardameta was one of the main managers of the renewal of the extreme until 2027, and acts as 'lumbrera' for the navarro in the middle of the rumours that could 'nublar' his way. "Has agreement until 2027, is very happy home and see him with the very clear ideas of face to his future", signalled recently the goalkeeper of Murgia. Like this the things, although it seems that the 'singings of siren' could move him away of Lezama, the true is that in Saint Mamés 'tighten' to keep to the footballer a year more, complicating the plans veraniegos of the Barça.
