The days go by and anger is always present on the side of the supporters of the Athletic Bilbao. While the name of their attacker Nico Williams resonates stronger and louder at FC Barcelona, ​​some do not accept that the player can consider leaving their club. A week ago, a fresco painted in tribute to several team players on a baracaldo wall in the Bilbao suburbs, was degraded. The player's face was erased. Immediately repainted, it was again targeted and covered with dark blue.
While waiting to perhaps know the identity of the managers of this act one day, the message is clear for Nico Williams. Seven days ago, a sentence was written by the authors of degradation: ” Whether you leave or stay, you have lost our respect. This time again, a few words have been written. Much stronger and full of hatred:
“Shit rat. »»
This Friday, Athletic posted several images and videos of the restoration of the fresco after the first degradation. A few days earlier, he also published a press release to denounce the act of officials of the act of vandalism.
“Disable respect for one of ours is to disrespect the Athletic Club itself. Those who have erased its image do not represent the club. »»
Nico Williams, an interesting release clause
Under contract with Bilbao until 2027, Nico Williams hesitated to leave last summer before finally deciding to remain an additional season. Proof of attachment to his training club, but apparently not sufficient for certain supporters. FC Barcelona still intends to attract the Spanish international who should not be pushed to remain at Athletic with such acts.
The departure clause of Nico Williams is fifty-eight million euros, while its market value is rather evaluated around seventy million euros.
