The Athletic Bilbao star confirms he won’t stay—Camp Nou move now back on the table!
In a bombshell revelation, Nico Williams has publicly declared his desire to leave Athletic Bilbao and join Barcelona, breathing new life into a transfer that had recently looked all but dead.
The Twist No One Saw Coming
Contrary to earlier reports suggesting Barcelona had been priced out of the deal, Williams himself has made it clear—he won’t be continuing at Bilbao and is eager to wear the Blaugrana shirt. This confirmation turns the transfer saga on its head, reigniting hopes in Catalonia.
Hansi Flick’s First Major Move?
With new manager Hansi Flick eyeing dynamic reinforcements, Williams is seen as the perfect piece to reshape the left wing. Pairing him with Lamine Yamal promises a frightening pace-and-skill combo that could terrorize La Liga for years to come.
Challenges Remain:
Athletic Bilbao’s Stance: Known for being tough negotiators, they’ll demand top value.
Barcelona’s Finances: Despite the interest, Barça still needs to craft a financially viable deal amidst tight salary and spending controls.
> “This is the transfer Barcelona didn’t think they could revive—but Nico just brought it back to life,” insiders say.
What’s Next?
Barça are now expected to step up negotiations, potentially offloading players or activating alternative revenue routes to finalize the move. The player’s desire is now publicly aligned with the club’s ambitions—the ball is firmly in Barcelona’s court.
A blockbuster summer signing is within reach. If they pull it off, Barcelona’s left flank could belong to Nico Williams—and the future could come faster than expected.
