Athletic sends a 'message' to Barça for its interest in Nico Williams

The name of Nico Williams has been sounding a lot recently in the City Condal. The native of Pamplona will finalise his agreement in 2024 with the Basque club and, considering his position of free agent, his talent stood out and his youth, has turned into an attractive option so much for the FC Barcelona as for other big teams of Europe.

In a principle, has informed that the Barça has established contacts with the surroundings of the forward to coordinate his possible arrival to the Barcelona team the next year. However, this operation seems complicated, since apparently Williams wishes to follow deploying his football in Saint Mamés and already would be in process of negotiation to renew his agreement with 'The Lions' by three seasons more, as it has rumoreado.

From the Athletic the expectations of renewal are high

The first in tackling this situation was the trainer of the Athletic, Ernesto Valverde, the one who in a press conference desestimó the possibility of a transfer of the player, affirming: "All know that in a lot of cases this is fictitious; it creates a speculation around a player, afterwards another...". 'Txingurri' Emphasized that it expects that Nico remain long with the team. Now, to the statements of the extécnico of the Barça betting by the continuity of the '11' in Saint Mamés, has added the president of the club, Jon Uriarte.

In an interview with 'Movistar+ LaLiga', Uriarte decided to pronounce on the current situation of the forward and the uncertainty around his future in the Basque club: "So much Nico like his family are very happy in Bilbao and in the Athletic. Both parts are working so that it can remain a lot of years more".

While it resolves his contractual situation, Nico Williams has had a beginning of impressive season. In the four parties that has contested with the cast bilbaíno, already has marked four goals.
