Nico Williams’s agents explain why Athletic Club star didn’t leave for Barcelona

The Spanish star was in demand in Catalunya

Nico Williams was a focal point over the summer as Barcelona sought to acquire the Athletic Club player. Ultimately, he chose to remain with Athletic Club, as his agents stated he wanted another year with the Basque team.

“The boy has had an incredible year and has proven it by being the best player in the European Championships,” said Félix Tainta and Juan Oyaga to AS.

“There has been a lot of activity and travel, and while it’s all quite intense towards the end of the transfer window, we enjoy it. He decided to stay, wanting another year to work here.”

Williams will continue with Athletic for the 2024-25 season, but the transfer speculation might reignite next summer, with rumors suggesting Barcelona could make another attempt to sign him.
