Nico Williams extended his contract with "Athletic" for another decade. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Initially, the player was expected to join the "Barcelona" squad, but the transfer did not happen. According to Cadena SER, this transfer initiative came from Nico Williams.
"Barcelona" had agreed on financial terms and the duration of the contract with the winger. However, later agent Felix Tainta made a new demand – to add a clause allowing the player to leave the club freely if he was not registered by a certain date in July.
This demand was deemed unacceptable by the club. "Barcelona" officials are blaming Nico Williams' agent for the unsuccessful conclusion of the 22-year-old player's transfer.
This was an unexpected situation for the club, and they were astonished by this decision. This incident further intensified the disagreements between "Barcelona" and the player.
As a result, Nico Williams preferred to extend his contract with "Athletic" and stay at the club. This decision plays a significant role in all plans related to the player's future.
He is currently continuing his career under the new contract and remains loyal to his club. This situation has garnered significant attention in the football world.
