Nico Williams makes decision on future

Nico Williams chose to join Barcelona despite receiving interest from many other big clubs in Europe such as Bayern Munich and Arsenal.

Barcelona still highly value Williams' talent.

AS revealed that the Athletic Club winger has told his family and friends that he prefers a move to Barcelona over a move abroad. Williams wants to join Barcelona, and other clubs interested in the player have received feedback from his agent.

Williams himself has also agreed to take a pay cut to move to Barcelona in the summer of 2025. Williams currently has a release clause of 58 million euros. The Bilbao striker once demanded a salary of more than 10 million euros/year, equal to or higher than the income this player receives at his home team.

Williams' salary demands had made many top European clubs wary. Barcelona even considered pulling out of the deal when they couldn't meet the player's salary. However, after Williams suggested a pay cut this summer, negotiations between him and the Catalan club resumed.

It all depends on Barcelona now. The Catalans are struggling financially and are also considering other options such as Luis Díaz or Rashford. If they hesitate, the opportunity to sign Williams could open up to other clubs.

After shining at Euro 2024 with Spain, Williams affirmed himself as one of the most promising wingers in the world . In the 2024/25 season, Nico Williams did not play as explosively as when he helped Spain win Euro 2024.

After 45 appearances in all competitions, Williams has only scored 11 goals. However, with his potential and his latest move to reduce his salary, Williams is still a name that many big clubs are eyeing. Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Liverpool are still closely monitoring Williams' situation.
