The news, announced by the club on Thursday, has sent waves of excitement through the Basque football community and beyond.
The 21-year-old winger, who was heavily linked with a number of top European clubs following his explosive performances in both La Liga and UEFA Euro 2024, has decided to remain with his club. This move not only solidifies Athletic Club’s future but also marks a defining moment in Williams’ rising career.
A Symbol of Loyalty
Nico Williams has been at the heart of Athletic Club’s attacking prowess in recent seasons. His dazzling pace, technical brilliance, and growing maturity have seen him become one of the most talked-about young talents in Europe. Amid speculation of a big-money move to clubs such as Barcelona, Chelsea, and Arsenal, his decision to commit long-term to Athletic is seen as a remarkable show of loyalty in an era where transfers often dominate headlines.
In the club’s official statement, Athletic Club President Jon Uriarte hailed the deal as a “massive win” for the club’s future.
“Nico embodies the spirit of Athletic Club — homegrown, fearless, and committed. This is not just a contract renewal; it is a message to the world that we believe in our identity, and our best talents believe in us.”
Contract Details
While the financial details remain undisclosed, Spanish media reports suggest that the new contract includes a significantly increased release clause, reportedly north of €100 million, aimed at deterring potential suitors. Williams will also reportedly become one of the highest-paid players in the club’s history.
The new deal runs until June 2035, making it one of the longest contract extensions in La Liga history and further underlining the club’s confidence in the young winger.
