Official: Nico Williams signs new ten-year contract with Athletic Bilbao

Recently, there was intense speculation about Nico Williams potentially moving to Barcelona, but in a last-minute twist, the player made a different decision.

Details: Athletic Bilbao has officially announced that Nico Williams has signed a new ten-year contract with the club, keeping him at San Mamés until the summer of 2035.

Earlier reports suggested that Barcelona was preparing to trigger the release clause in Nico Williams' contract. However, amid the ongoing transfer saga, a real scandal is brewing—once again, the player found himself at the center of hostile reactions from Bilbao supporters.

Reminder: The player himself reportedly made it clear to Barcelona's sporting director Deco that he wanted to continue his career at Camp Nou. His desire to move to Catalonia and play alongside his friend Lamine Yamal only strengthened Barcelona's confidence in securing his signature.
