This Sunday morning, fans of Athletic Bilbao erased Nico Williams' face with a fresco bearing the image of the players of the Basque club and have, instead, wrote a message against him: ” Whether you stay or go, you have lost our respect ». A context of extreme tension, at a time when the departure of the person concerned towards Barça is very close. And faced with this act which made a lot of noise in Spain, the Athletic Club came out of silence.
“Respect is one of the fundamental pillars of the Athletic Club. Summer has just started and publications on Nico Williams, a contract under contract with the Athletic Club until 2027, abound in the media and social networks. With them, an infinite number of comments and reactions of all kinds. Nico is one of ours. A player raised in Lezama, loved in the locker room and supported by his fans. The club understands that the current situation can arouse some concern among Athletic supporters, especially when it is fueled by rumors, arrogance or contempt for our identity. But being a supporter of Athletic is also knowing how to keep your cool ”assured the Basque club.
