Nico Williams’ renewal until 2035 generates tension in Bilbao and raises suspicions about Tebas. The Williams brothers concentrate 47% of Athletic’s budget.<\/h2> \r\n

Nico Williams’ renewal<\/a> with Athletic Club has unleashed an internal earthquake in San Mam\u00e9s<\/strong>. With a salary that reaches 10 million euros net per year and a duration until 2035, the young winger becomes the highest-paid player in the club’s history, profoundly altering its traditional salary model.<\/p>

Behind this decision, a game of interests, external pressures, and institutional maneuvers emerges, involving FC Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and, controversially, Javier Tebas<\/strong>. Miguel Gal\u00e1n’s accusations against the president of LaLiga for his alleged interference in the operation only fuel a fire that transcends sports.<\/p>

Nico Williams, the most expensive renewal in Athletic’s history<\/h2>

Athletic Club broke all its molds by ensuring Nico Williams’ continuity until June 30, 2035. The agreement, which began to take shape in early 2024, includes a progressive salary that starts at 8 million euros per year and will escalate to 10 million<\/strong>. This is an unprecedented figure in the history of the red and white club, whose financial policy had until now been exemplary in salary containment.<\/p>
