This summer, FC Barcelona did their best to recruit Nico Williams. Author of a great Euro with the Roja, the Bilbao player, who gets on perfectly with Lamine Yamal, was very interested in the idea of joining Catalonia. But he finally stayed at Athletic to the great delight of his club and his family, who pushed for him not to change air.
But his future should be at the centre of the game again next year. Under contract until 2027, the 22-year-old has no intention of extending his lease and is planning to leave in a year according to Sport. He does not want to spend another season in Bilbao. The Catalan media adds that he is still Barça’s priority, who hope to attract him to their nets in 2025.
