Bayern? Barca? Milan? Chelsea? The transfer saga surrounding Nico Williams is coming to a head. At Athletic Bilbao, nerves are on edge and fans are complaining. A lot of money is supposed to help keep him there. And, of course, his brother Inaki, the European champion’s big role model.
The first hurdle has been cleared. The fact that no elite club had signed Bilbao’s left winger Nico Williams by the end of the Club World Cup transfer window on June 10 was met with visible relief in the Basque Country. However, there was no lasting celebration. It is no secret that prominent clubs such as Bayern Munich, FC Barcelona, FC Arsenal, Chelsea, and, according to rumors, Real Madrid are interested in Williams. And the regular transfer window in the summer is still to come. Athletic seems somewhat overwhelmed by the situation, with nerves on edge.
