Nico Williams wants to stay in Spain and is waiting for Barca, according to the Daily Sport.
Nico Williams is an important target for Barca and the club believes that if they can sign a winger who brings a difference on the left side, the team can make a leap forward in the competition, taking into account age, league performance, international experience and a release fee of just over 50 million euros, Nico Williams became Barca's choice.
If a deal does not go through, the player is likely to reject overtures from England and France to stay at Athletic Bilbao for another year. Nico Williams wants to speed up his move to Barca, but he is aware of the latter's dire financial situation. Barca are working to reinstate the 1:1 payout rule, and Athletic Bilbao will not negotiate this, and Barca will need to pay the full release fee to take the player.
In addition to the release of gold, Nico Williams after signing a new contract with Athletic Bilbao is also high salary, Barca want to meet these conditions will not be easy. There has been no further contact from Barcelona with Nico Williams or Athletic Bilbao. Nico Williams is aware of Barca's interest but has yet to receive an official offer and knows it will probably not come this summer, but he will wait until after the Euros.
For now, Nico Williams is focused on the European Championship and he will start to decide on his future in July. Nico Williams was approached by clubs such as Aston Villa and Paris Saint-Germain considered signing him last year, but the player decided to stay at Athletic Bilbao. There have been offers from several Premier League clubs, but Nico Williams wants to remain in the Spanish game and, after Mbappe's move to Real Madrid, it looks like Barca is his only chance.
Athletic Bilbao are keen to resolve the issue of Nico Williams' future as soon as possible, as they need to make different plans for the new season depending on the situation.
