JON URIARTE SPEAKS OUT ABOUT NICO'S SITUATION
Athletic Club 'ignores' FC Barcelona's interest in Nico Williams
Nico Williams is on FC Barcelona's agenda as one of the top candidates to reinforce the left wing, but Athletic Club knows nothing about the Catalans' interest and is "happy" with the player.
The FC Barcelona is wrapped in a sinfín of rumours of face to the market of signings estival of this year. Nico Williams is one of the protagonists and one of the players that more like to the sportive direction to reinforce his right extreme for the 2024/2025. It is a movement complicated, because the footballer renewed in December until 30 June 2027 and has a clause of more than 60 million euros, but the Barcelona pretend to try it as long as they give the conditions with the Fair Play financial.
The minor of Williams is concentrated with Spain for the dispute of the Eurocopa and 'raisin' of the rumours on his future. In addition to the Barça, several teams of the Premier League are very attentive to his progression and would be had to credit the amount of his clause of exit, although they are conscious that it will not happen at all while 'The Red' was in Germany for the dispute of the continental tournament. Nico wants to offer 100% during these weeks and does not want to 'distract' with his future.
The Athletic answers to the Barça
On the other hand, from the Athletic Club have closed the door to the discussion on his future. The president of the club, Jon Uriarte, the one who was the one who him 'convinced' to renew until 2027 to avoid that it went out free this summer, has spoken on the footballer recently and left clear that does not concern them, in the absolute, the informations and rumours in this regard: they Are happy with Nico and have proof that he also is it in Saint Mamés.
In concrete, the maximum mandator of the group bilbaíno has declared that "have an impressive talent and is normal that there are players that arouse in other clubs and by the rumours can be with Nico. We are not to speak with rumours, Nico is happy in Bilbao and like this has commented it and we are very happy with Nico", insisting in that "we do not loan attention to these rumours and us centred in and an attractive project".
Movement in 'stand by', for now
Like this then , as it was predictable, in Bilbao desmarcan of the rumours on any movement during this summer. They trust that Nico will fulfil the agreement that renewed does so alone six months and that will follow leading the line of attack, as it has done it up to now, by the next years. The Barça would have to change the history radically to be able to do with the services of the player of the 21 years... Although, before, they will have to concentrate in closing all the folders of the Fair Play financial to be able to think in fichar during the summer.
