Sudan Events – Agencies
The young star, Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams, returned to his team’s group training in preparation for the new season at a time when Barcelona was hoping to sign the player in the current transfer window.
Williams and his teammate, Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal, formed a wonderful duo in the Spanish national team that ended with them winning the European Nations Cup. Williams caused a shock to Barcelona, who tried to sign him to benefit from the understanding between the two during the current summer transfer window next season.
Athletic Bilbao posted a video of Nico Williams returning to group training, after the rest he got after Spain won Euro 2024. “Welcome home Williams… Nico is back in training in Lezama.” Bilbao wrote. There was fierce competition between Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal to win Williams’ services, but the player’s brother, Iñaki Williams, pressured his brother not to leave Bilbao next season, and the player actually responded to his brother’s pressure, and decided to stay with Athletic Bilbao next season. Williams has 3 seasons left on his contract with Athletic Bilbao, and it includes a release clause of 58 million euros.
