Winger Niko Williams recently extended his agreement with the "Athletic" club for a ten-year term and rejected the option to move to the "Barcelona" club. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to Spain's Sport publication, last week a fan asked "Barcelona" president Joan Laporta about Williams' situation. The club's leader responded to this question.
Laporta said: "We do not agree to the request from his agent to grant the player free agent status. We will not pay 60 million euros and then allow the player to leave for free.
Such a situation will not happen." It was previously reported that Niko Williams' agent requested to include guarantees for contract registration from "Barcelona."
If the club did not register him, Niko could leave as a free agent. This situation played a significant role in the agreement between the club and the player.
Thus, Niko Williams' future is tied to the team, and he has clearly expressed his decision.
