Athletic Club has secured Nico Williams through a contract extension that lasts until June 30, 2035. The winger committed to San Mamés despite Barcelona's aggressive pursuit of his signature. President Jon Uriarte and General Director Mikel Gonzalez witnessed the signing ceremony alongside Captain Inaki Williams, the player's brother. María Arthuer, the player's mother, attended the formal proceedings. The agreement represents the longest first-team contract in club history.
Williams added eight years to his previous deal during the Tuesday announcement. The charismatic winger expressed his desire to continue creating memorable moments with Athletic Club. His decision mirrors the career path of his brother Inaki, who advanced through the academy ranks before becoming the team captain. The extension eliminates speculation about Williams departing for Barcelona. Athletic Club maintains its tradition of retaining homegrown talent through substantial long-term commitments.
