Nico Williams seemed attached by FC Barcelona, a club with which he was going to sign. But the 22-year-old Spanish star gave all the Catalans’s calculations over the head, extending his contract with Athletic Bilbao by 2035. With the paraphrase of the new agreement, the termination clause was increased from 58 million euros to 90, so that the mission of the Spanish champion to regiment him became practically impossible.
