Arsenal and Chelsea target Nico Williams ‘makes decision’ on his future that has stunned everyone

After an incredible Euro 2024 campaign with Spain, Nico Williams surprised supporters by announcing his choice on his future.

The winger for Athletic Club led La Roja to victory with two goals, including the game’s first against England.

Williams has grown in popularity, drawing interest from teams like Barcelona, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Paris Saint-Germain.

The 22-year-old’s comparatively low £49 million release clause helped him become the club’s top target.

The story appears to be coming to an end, though, as Williams has reportedly decided where he will play football next season, according to MARCA.

Journalist Daniel Sobis reports that Williams will play for the Athletics in the upcoming season and will repress the urge to go and find new opportunities.

So, if the rumours are accurate, he will play with his older brother Inaki for one additional season.

After defeating Real Mallorca on penalties in the 2024 Copa del Rey final, Athletic will also compete in the Europa League the following season.

In any case, the championship game takes place at their San Mames stadium, and supporters will be hoping for victory on home ground.

Prior to making his first-team debut with his brother in 2020, Williams enrolled in the Basque team’s academy in 2023.

He has become one of the most dynamic wingers in the league very rapidly, and if he stays at Athletic, he will almost certainly receive a large salary increase.

Williams has been vacationing in Marbella with fellow superstar Lamine Yamal, who has made no secret of his wish for his pal to join him at the Blaugrana, since they were granted time off following their achievements at Euro 2024.

Yes, I believe our playing together is good. However, this is more of a question for him, he stated in June to Mundo Deportivo.

“We don’t discuss moving to Barcelona too often. Since we only get to see each other on the national team, we make an effort to have fun.
