Nico Williams was heavily linked with a move to Barcelona during the 2024 summer transfer window, and while that deal is not expected to happen in 2025, there are reportedly several Premier League clubs keen to sign him away from Athletic Club.
One of them is Manchester City, and if he were to make that move he would be reunited with international teammate Rodri Hernandez. The 2024 Ballon d'Or winner would certainly welcome Williams to the Etihad Stadium, he told Diario AS (via CaughtOffside) earlier this week.
“If I were to take him now, I would also take him to teach him about the cold in England, although it is similar to Bilbao. But yes, I would take him (to Man City) without a doubt.”
It will be interesting to see how Williams' situation plays out next summer. Athletic Club will be desperate to retain his services, and they could open contract talks in the coming months in a bid to increase his release clause.
