Barca away fans chanting ‘Nico is Culer’ during Athletic Bilbao clash

Barcelona Fans Chant “Nico is Culer” Amid 3-0 Win Over Athletic Bilbao

Barcelona wrapped up their season in style with a commanding 3-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao at San Mamés on Sunday — but it wasn’t just the performance on the pitch grabbing headlines.

During the match, a section of traveling Barça supporters broke into chants of “Nico is Culer,” signaling their desire to see Nico Williams, Bilbao’s electrifying winger, make the switch to Catalonia.

The chant, echoing through the stadium, added a layer of drama to what was already an emotional night for the home side. With Nico heavily linked to a move away this summer — and Barcelona reportedly among the frontrunners — the moment didn’t go unnoticed.

Williams, who has been one of La Liga’s standout performers this season with his pace, flair, and creativity, is believed to have a release clause around €50 million. While Athletic are eager to keep their star, Barcelona’s fan-driven push and public interest may increase pressure ahead of the transfer window.

No official move has been made, but if the chants are any indicator, Culers have already made up their minds.

Whether the Barça fans were dropping a subtle transfer hint or simply enjoying a bit of banter at San Mamés, the “Nico is Culer” chant certainly turned heads — especially considering the growing speculation linking Nico Williams with a summer move to Camp Nou.

If Barcelona do decide to activate his release clause, they’ll need to pay €58 million to lure the Athletic Club star away — a significant sum for a club still navigating financial constraints, but one that reflects Nico’s explosive form and rising value.

Off the pitch, Nico has also been making headlines for his comments about Lamine Yamal, Barcelona’s 16-year-old sensation. Speaking to the media recently, Nico admitted he was “freaked out” after his first training session with Yamal while on international duty.

“I knew he was talented, but when I saw him up close in training — the way he moves, the decisions he makes at that age — it honestly freaked me out,” Nico said, half-joking. “He’s unbelievable.”

It’s a quote that’s only added fuel to the fire. The thought of Nico and Yamal linking up on the wings for both club and country is an exciting one — and if the fans have their way, that vision may soon become reality at the Spotify Camp Nou.
