Announced to be very close to signing with PSG, Nico Williams could play a dirty trick on the capital club.
New twist in the Nico Williams saga. In the previous episode, the young Spanish winger (22 years old) was announced to be very close to joining PSG. Two days ago, World Sports actually stated that the capital club would pay the Athletic Bilbao player’s release clause, set at 58 million euros, with Luis Enrique having already presented the Parisian project to the very recent European champion.
But according to Sportthe file would not actually be so advanced. The Catalan daily announces that the revelation of Euro 2024 with the Roja would have made a promise to his brother Iñaki (30 years old) and that he intends to honor it. Nico Williams would have committed to them playing at least one season together in the European Cup, which would be the case in 2024-2025 with the Basque team, fifth in La Liga and qualified for the Europa League.
Nico Williams, bad news for PSG
This prospect would also be favoured by his entourage, who would very much like to see him stay one more year at Athletic Bilbao, where he is under contract until 2027. Attached to his training club, Nico Williams would be sensitive to what his close relations tell him, which could put an end to the hopes of Paris Saint-Germain, always in search of offensive reinforcements, particularly on the left side, to make us forget Kylian Mbappé.
