In the first round of the new La Liga season, the
Athletic Bilbao (soccer team)
Nico Williams came on as a substitute and played an important role in the 1-1 draw against Getafe. After the match, BVB director Mikel Gonzalez spoke in an interview about Nico's future and the
transfer rumor
Gonzalez said, "Nico Williams' contract runs until 2027 and he just renewed it last season. He is having a great time at Biba. As he demonstrated his ability in the Europa League, he is a very good player and has proved that Biba players are capable of achieving great things both domestically and internationally."
In response to Nico's transfer rumors with other clubs, Gonzalez confessed, "It's never pleasant when your own player is involved in a lot of transfer rumors. But considering Nico's level, this kind of thing is normal. We are relaxed about it."
This comes after news that although Barcelona have not given up on their efforts to bring in Nico, the youngster has decided to stay with the team for at least one more year and has taken over the No. 10 jersey, which symbolizes his central position. Nico Williams' contract renewal and performance has also shown his loyalty and confidence in the club.
