"This is my home." Nico Williams comments on new contract with Athletic Bilbao

The saga surrounding Nico Williams has come to an end—he has signed a new contract with Athletic Bilbao that will keep him at the club until 2035. The winger has now spoken out about his decision.

Details: According to Williams himself, when it comes to making such decisions, the most important thing for him is to listen to his heart. Athletic is his home.

Quote: "When it comes to important decisions, for me, the main thing is to listen to my heart. I am where I want to be, with my people. This is my home," said Nico Williams.

The new deal with the Basques runs until 2035.

Earlier reports suggested that Barcelona were planning to trigger Nico Williams' release clause. However, amid the transfer saga, a real scandal erupted—the player once again found himself at the center of hostile reactions from Bilbao supporters.

Reminder: The player himself had 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 Barça's confidence in securing the transfer.
