Barca handed bombshell as Nico renews Athletic Club contract until 2035
Wow
Barcelona have been rocked by news that top transfer target Nico Williams has renewed his contract with the Basque club until 2035.
A second summer of speculation had claimed that Williams was set to move to Catalunya after asking his agent to meet with Deco for talks.

El extremo rojiblanco se vincula al club de su corazón durante las próximas diez temporadas y su cláusula de rescisión aumenta más de un 50%. #NicoWilliams2035 #AthleticWIN
Personal terms were then said to have been agreed, with Barcelona then expected to activate his release clause.
However it’s now emerged that Williams has committed his long-term future to Athletic and signed on for another decade.
Here’s the club’s official statement:
“Nico Williams renews with Athletic Club until 2035. The red-and-white winger commits to the club of his heart for the next ten seasons, and his release clause increases by more than 50%.”
And here’s what he’s had to say: “When decisions have to be made, for me, what weighs most is the heart. I’m where I want to be, with my people, this is my home. Aupa Athletic!”
The new will be a huge blow to Barcelona and their plans for the summer window. Williams had emerged as their top transfer target but has once again snubbed a move to Catalunya, meaning the club must look elsewhere.
