Spanish international, Nico Williams, has officially signed a long-term contract extension with Athletic Club, committing his future to the Basque side until June 2035.
The new deal includes a significantly increased release clause over 50% higher than the previous €58 million alongside an improved salary package.
This move ends speculation about a potential transfer to Barcelona, as the Catalan giants reportedly pulled out of the race due to ongoing financial constraints and player registration challenges.
Speaking after the announcement, Nico said, “When it comes to making decisions, for me the most important thing is to listen to your heart. I am where I want to be, with my people. This is my home.”
