A year later, we're back. A new Nico Williams soap opera is born in Spain. Like the summer of 2024 after a thunderous euro which had revealed it to the people of the world, the winger makes the fatty cabbage of the sports press once again. 12 months ago, it was on the side of FC Barcelona that it was announced with great insistence, and PSG too. The Blaugranas wanted to do like Roja at the Euro by associating it with Lamine Yamal, while Raphinha accumulated any services. At the time.
Times have changed and the Brazilian released an absolutely brilliant season, more regular than Yamal itself. Today there is no question of his departure, and no more question of the arrival of Nico Williams either. The winger trained in the Basque countries had finally chosen to stay with his home, despite the temptations. From the height of his 11 goals and his 7 assists in 45 games in all competitions, he managed to take his club in 4th place in Liga, synonymous with qualification in the Champions League.
Bayern, Arsenal and Chelsea appreciate it
Will he participate with the Leones? Nothing is less certain. This time, Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Chelsea are very interested in bringing it. The winger also has that of a real asset. Its release clause is “only” € 58 million, a largely affordable sum for a luxury club. This is also what is problematic today. Like last year, Athletic wishes to convince him to stay but by having him signed a contract extension this time to lengthen his lease (2027) and review this famous upward clause.
After ASthe negotiations started between the 22 -year -old and the management but enhance this barrier of the € 58 million also frightens Nico Williams and his clan. They fear that in the future it will be a brake for a future transfer. In an attempt to bend the Spanish international (28 selections, 6 goals), the club wishes to offer it a significant increase in salary. There is already a positive sign, it is that Nico Williams is not against staying but under certain conditions. The soap opera only starts and may take a little time.
