The FC Barcelona follows very closely to Nico Williams. The forward continues in negotiations for his renewal with the Athletic and in front of this the Barcelona sportive direction is attentive, understanding that the extreme can be an option prioritaria in summer like opportunity of market, in the case that the next 1 July remain free after finalising his current agreement.
However, the news that arrive from Bilbao are not the most hopeful for the interests culés. And it is that the negotiations to renew go by the good way and, although they have not been easy, from Saint Mamés ensure that a possible agreement is near. In fact, the Athletic wants to announce his continuity before it finish the year to avoid that it can negotiate freely with any club from 1 January.
The Athletic could leave to the Barça without a big signing of summer
Like this it informs it 'Sport' this Wednesday, highlighting that from the surroundings of the player recognise that to Nico would like him have an adventure far of Bilbao, but considers that it still has long by in front. The extreme of 20 years has received this same reason from all the parts interested for his renewal, much less if it means to go out free and not leaving an alone euro in Saint Mamés.
The information equally aims that the agent of Nico Williams, Félix Tainta, is a very linked employer to the club because it also is the representative of Iñaki Williams, Sancet and Yeray Ávarez. The relation with the club is good and have worked to arrive to an agreement of renewal of the lower of the brothers, although yes that the clause of rescission has been one of the key points of the conversations, remembering that in this moment is of 40 million euros and will increase very little for the new agreement.
Nico Williams does not want to tie too much to Bilbao
It remains clear that a similar figure allows to leave opened the door of a future affordable sale for the big European clubs. Also it speaks , in the case of Nico, of a short agreement, of three seasons, all the contrary of the that signed, for example, Oihan Sancet, that linked until the 2032, by what in 2025 or 2026 could produce again negotiations for his exit.
