The case of Nico Williams is more and more talked about on the other side of the Pyrenees. The young offensive athletic Bilbao is announced on the start and this creates upside down around the Basque club. While his name resonates with more and more insistence at FC Barcelona, some Athletic supporters do not support the idea of seeing him go. A fresco in its effigy was thus degraded, forcing Bilbao to react.
This Sunday, individuals went to erase the face of Nico Williams on a fresco painted on a baracaldo wall, in the Bilbao suburbs. Instead, a sentence targeting the Spanish winger was written: “Whether you go or stay, you have lost our respect. »» An action which therefore caused several reactions, starting with that of another figure of the club, Iñaki Williams, the brother of Nico Williams.
He seemed to target the authors of the degradation act.
“Behind an anonymous disrespect is always hidden someone too small to show his face. »»
A few hours later, the Bilbao club was in turn emerging from silence and made an official declaration to denounce the act in question. With precision to start:
“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. »»
Athletic Bilbao in support of Nico Williams
Then the Basque entity continued forcefully: “Disable respect for one of ours is to disrespect the Athletic Club itself. Those who have erased its image do not represent the club. »» A clear distance for the Bilbao club which also clarified that he had made a decision by coming into contact with Carlos Lopez, an artist who made the said fresco, so that he is restoring as quickly as possible.
As for Nico Williams, still under contract with his training club until June 2027, he should logically leave. After choosing to stay last summer when he was already fucked lusts, this time he should go away. Its starting clause is fifty-eight million euros while its market value is rather estimated around seventy million euros. A good deal that FC Barcelona will not let pass?
