Nico Williams Set to Stay at Athletic Club as Contract Talks Progress

In recent weeks, there has been a surge of speculation surrounding the future of Nico Williams, whose contract with Athletic Club is set to expire at the end of this season. While negotiations have been ongoing for a renewal, there has been a suggestion that he might leave as a free agent next summer.

Such a scenario would undoubtedly attract a slew of clubs vying to secure Nico’s services, as the 21-year-old is regarded as one of the most promising young talents in Spanish football. Both Barcelona and Real Madrid are among the interested parties eyeing the winger.

However, those eyeing Nico’s potential signing will have to exercise patience. According to Sport, discussions regarding a new contract are well underway between the player’s representatives and Athletic Club. It is anticipated that an agreement will be reached in the upcoming weeks.

The report indicates that Nico may not be as committed to Athletic Club as some other Basque players, implying that a move away in the future is a possibility. Nevertheless, it appears he won’t be departing as a free agent next summer, much to the relief of the club based in Bilbao.
