A press source has disclosed the decision made by the family of Nico Williams, a prominent player for Athletic Bilbao, regarding the possibility of transferring to Barcelona during the current summer transfer window.
Since the start of the current transfer season, the management of the Catalan team has been pursuing the Spanish national team star, hoping to persuade him to join them. They are also prepared to pay the release clause in his contract with Bilbao, which is estimated to be 58 million euros, along with an additional 4 million euros for the consumer price index tax.
Nico Williams, who delivered an outstanding performance in the Euro 2024 tournament held in Germany, played a significant role in securing the championship for Spain, becoming a much-discussed player in the ongoing summer transfer market across Europe.
According to a report by journalist Alberto Masno in the Spanish newspaper “Sport,” Nico Williams is nearing a final decision, which appears to be to remain with his current club, Athletic Bilbao, for the next season. This decision is influenced by the wishes of his family and close associates, who have advised him against moving to Barcelona, recommending instead that he stay with Bilbao for another season, guided by the perspective of his older brother.
