Nico Williams’ 2023/2024 season has all the makings of a dream. The Spanish left winger particularly shone during the season with Athletic Club. Author of 8 goals and 19 assists in 37 matches, the 22-year-old winger shone in La Liga with the Bilbao club but not only. Selected with Spain during Euro 2024, he brilliantly animated his left flank and was the perfect counterpart to Lamine Yamal. A competition that took him to another dimension and made him one of the most sought-after players in this summer transfer window.
While he still has a contract running until June 2027, Nico Williams has a release clause that is quite accessible for the biggest teams. Indeed, to recruit him this summer, it will be necessary to pay 58 million euros. A sum that has thus pushed FC Barcelona to position itself to recreate the double with Lamine Yamal. The Blaugranas are not the only ones involved in this case since Paris Saint-Germain has also come forward following the difficulties encountered with the Khvicha Kvaratskhelia saga (Napoli).
Bilbao prepares a nice gift for Nico Williams
Two clubs that want to play the game to the fullest to attract the youngest of the Williams brothers. If on the Catalonia side, optimism is high, on the Basque side, on the other hand, they do not intend to give up. Nico Williams still has three years on his contract and extended it last November. If they know that the player has reached a new level, they intend to reward him accordingly as announced Sport.
The team coached by Ernesto Valverde would be ready to make an offer accompanied by a salary increase. A nice reward promised to the player in order to convince him to stay at least one more season. Now it remains to be seen Nico Williams’ position between continuity within the Athletic Club or a transfer either to FC Barcelona or Paris Saint-Germain. In any case in the Basque country, the desire to keep Nico Williams is still as strong.
