The CEO of Bayern, Jan-Christian Dreesen, commented on Niko Williams signing a new contract with Athletic. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The Spanish winger was previously expected to move to Barcelona, but ultimately reached a new agreement with his club that will last until 2035. Bayern had also shown interest in the 22-year-old player.
According to Dreesen, a decade-long contract is a serious decision. He also emphasized that Niko Williams is Basque and that Athletic is a club made up solely of Basque players.
His brother also plays for this club, which was an important factor. Recently, there have been more rumors linking Williams to Barcelona rather than Bayern, so Dreesen stated that the question is not about them.
According to media reports, if negotiations with Barcelona fail, Bayern plans to add Williams to their ranks. Thus, this transfer process is not yet fully concluded, and there are various speculations about the player's future.
The competition between Athletic and Bayern continues, and Niko's loyalty to his family and club makes him an interesting player for many.
