Spanish-Ghanaian winger Nico Williams has committed to Athletic Club for the long term, signing a new contract that runs until June 2035.
This move puts an end to months of speculation about a potential transfer to FC Barcelona.
Williams’ decision prioritizes stability and sentiment, choosing to stay with the club he loves.
The new deal extends Williams’ contract by eight years, with a release clause increase of over 50%, demonstrating Athletic Club’s valuation of the talented player. Williams emphasized the importance of following his heart, stating, “When it comes to making decisions, for me, what weighs most is the heart. I’m where I want to be, with my family; this is my home. Go Athletic!”This signing is a significant win for Athletic Club president Jon Uriarte, ensuring the club retains one of Spain’s most promising young talents.
Williams’ commitment is expected to boost the team’s ambitions and silences Barcelona’s interest in the player.
With this new deal, Williams has cemented his place as a key player for Athletic Club, and fans can look forward to seeing him in action for years to come.
