Club statement
Nico Williams wants to continue writing history with Athletic Club, with whom he signed his strong contract today in San Mamés, which extended his contract until June 30, 2035, the longest sustainable agreement for the first team. It adds eight years to his previous contract, which was signed this afternoon alongside the president, Jon Uriart, the general manager of Voetbal, Mikel González and his brother and captain, Iñaki Williams. Also present were his mother, María Arthuer, an ambassador for the 125th birthday of Athletic Club, and his friends, who had a surprise gift in the form of a painting for him. The red-white family is lucky.
The renewal of Nico Williams, the football player with the largest international projection in the history of our club, has been an important boost for the sports project. In the footsteps of Iñaki, who extended his contract until 2028 in 2019, the constant contract of the younger brother is a boost for the trust of Athletic in a very exciting year, with the return to the Champions League eleven seasons later, a competition in which both players will make their debut.
Nico was delighted and everything smiled during the traditional event, where athletic victory (Williams, Iñaki and Nico) were prominent. He was wearing a new AC line from Athletic Club, inspired by the Win concept and reflected the triumph of De Stijl about the powerful range of other clubs. The star of the day emphasized: “We have very ambitious titles at stake, such as the Champions League. What a better way to do it than with the club of my life. I would like to continue to write history here at San Mamés, with the fans and my family.”
He also had words of thanks for his brother Iñaki: “We have both always dreamed of the moment. My brother is a role model for everyone, and especially for me. I think he is the best person to be a captain. I am looking forward to seeing him in the bracelet for a long time.”
Finally, Nico sent a message to the Athletic Club family: “I hope to give it back with everything they have given me. I hope they enjoy it as much as always. This is for them too. I have always had a lot of affection for them, and I am very proud of the fans I have.”
