UEFA Champions League
The Athletic Club could experience one of the most painful departures of its current project this summer. Nico Williams, one of the most destabilizing wingers in European football, is on the radar of several giants of the Premier League, posing a threat to disrupt the offensive stability of the team led by Ernesto Valverde. The Spanish international, after winning the Euro 2024, has sparked a wave of interest in England.
According to sources close to TBR Football, clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, and Newcastle United have already initiated contacts with the player's entourage. All of them are willing to lead the bid for the talented 22-year-old attacker, who has not only established himself at San Mamés but has also made the leap to the European elite with decisive performances in LaLiga and with the national team.
Nico Williams to the Premier League?
The younger Williams brother represents a current and future investment for any team seeking speed, imbalance, and width on the wing. In Bilbao, they are aware of this, and although the club has protected his contract in the past, his buyout clause remains affordable for the continent's top clubs, especially in the Premier League, where financial muscle allows for significant operations.
Nico would not be averse to a change of scenery if it means moving to an ambitious project in England. His name has become a regular topic in the sports planning meetings of several British giants, and all signs point to his departure materializing for the 2025-2026 season. Meanwhile, Athletic is bracing for what appears to be an inevitable farewell.
