Athletic Club winger Nico Williams has provided a significant update on his transfer status, revealing he turned down numerous high-profile offers this summer to remain with his boyhood club. The 22-year-old, who has drawn interest from top clubs including Arsenal, Chelsea, and Barcelona, chose to extend his stay at Athletic Club for at least another season.
Williams' impressive performances at Euro 2024 had already heightened his profile, making his £49 million release clause a tempting prospect for many elite teams. Despite this, the promising winger has opted to continue his development with Athletic Club, where he has been a fixture since the age of 11.
In a recent statement, Williams expressed his dedication to his current club: "My heart is with Athletic, but nobody knows what will happen in the future. I have had many offers this year, but I have decided to stay for another year.
