A completely unexpected announcement fell this Friday morning concerning the future of Nico Williams, courted by FC Barcelona.
Thunderbolt in the Nico Williams file! Priority of walk
Estival of FC Barcelona, the 22 -year -old winger will finally stay at Athletic Bilbao. The Basque club formalized this Friday morning the extension of its Spanish international (28 selections, 6 goals). An extension of… eight seasons, until June 2035!
“” The Athletic Club and Nico Williams reached an agreement to extend eight seasons, until June 30, 2035, the contract which was to expire in 2027. Its termination clause increases by more than 50% compared to the previous one “, Written on 4e of the last exercise of Liga.
While his liberating clause before re -stacking was estimated at 58 million euros, Nico Williams sees the latter now spent at 87 million euros. A sum that will inevitably put FC Barcelona, which was already unable to finance the operation, according to the president of La Liga, Javier Tebas. “” Barça cannot register Nico Williams today “, He recently said.
Nico Williams: “I’m where I want to be”
“” When it is necessary to make decisions, for me, what matters most is the heart “, For his part said Nico Williams, and add:” I am where I want to be, with my family. It’s my home. Go athletic! “”
This extension sounds like a huge camouflet for Barça. Only a few days ago, the Spanish press announced an agreement in principle between the player and the Catalan club for a six -year contract and an estimated salary between 7 and 8 million euros annually. But the Blaugranas’s financial incapacity to pay the departure compensation for Nico Williams finally had the deal to the deal.
