For the second summer in a row, Nico Williams is strongly connected to moving from Athletic Club to Barcelona. But on this occasion there is much more confidence from Catalonia that a deal can be closed.
And this is because in 2025 Williams was much more open to signature. He has rejected the chance of becoming a member of Barcelona, ​​but on this occasion he has already agreed personal conditions with the La Liga champions. But this wish to make the move has not fallen well between some of his current supporters in Bilbao.
As reported by Radio Nervion, a mural with Inaki Williams, Nico Williams and Iker Muniain on Sunday morning is illegible, with the face of the goal of the Barcelona. And instead a message is aimed at the 22-year-old: “Whether you are leaving or staying, you have lost respect.”
It is clear that many athletic supporters are unhappy with the Williams case, and part of that anger is towards the player himself. Making the mural split the opinion, but a person who is far impressed by the actions of those involved is Inaki Williams, who has taken over the social media to send his own message to the perpetrator.
“Behind an anonymous lack of respect, there is always someone who is too small to show his face.”
It is well documented that Barcelona and Athletic do not have a great relationship, which was exacerbated by the situation in which Williams was involved last summer. There would undoubtedly be a lot of accident if the Spain International would switch to the Spotify Camp Nou this summer, and at this stage it seems that a deal will probably be closed.
