Spain national team and Athletic Bilbao goalkeeper Unay Simon commented on the fact that Niko Williams' transfer to Barcelona did not take place. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Last summer, although the media linked the Basque club's forward with a move to Barcelona, the player extended his contract for ten years. Unay Simon said, "I knew that Niko would not transfer to Barcelona.
Since there was no football in the summer, they had to discuss something. Niko has been disrespected since last year, but he never responded," he emphasized.
Niko Williams' contract included a release clause of 60 million euros. According to many rumors, Barcelona was ready to pay this amount, but it was impossible to convince the player.
As a result, the player preferred to stay with his team. This situation indicates the complexity of agreements between players and clubs.
It also shows the importance of balancing personal decisions of the player and team interests.
