There is a fierce competition between Arsenal, Chelsea, and Barcelona for the signature of Nico Williams this summer. The young player has been making waves at the European Championship, playing in almost all of Spain's games and leading them to the final against England on Sunday.
However, Williams has been facing constant questions about his future, with rumors of a potential transfer swirling around him. Despite this, he has remained focused on his performance on the field, blocking out all the outside noise.
In a recent statement, Williams expressed his desire to stay away from any distractions and solely concentrate on playing his best. He has even instructed his family and agent to keep him in the dark about any transfer news until the Euros are over.
Last season, Williams had an impressive record of five goals and 11 assists in La Liga, making him a highly sought-after player in the transfer market. Despite this, his current club, Athletic Bilbao, is determined to keep him for at least another season and has rejected all offers from other clubs.
The president of Athletic Bilbao, Jon Uriarte, recently spoke out against the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) for failing to protect Williams from the constant bombardment of transfer questions during the Euros. He expressed his frustration at the lack of respect and protection for the player.
Uriarte also emphasized that Athletic Bilbao has a strong project and is capable of keeping top players like Williams in their team, as shown by their recent contract renewals with other high-profile players. He believes that the club has the economic, social, and sporting ability to retain talented players like Williams.
Spain's manager, Luis de la Fuente, has also addressed the issue, assuring that the team is doing their best to protect Williams from the distraction of transfer speculation. He mentioned that the players have the freedom to handle such situations as they see fit, and they are focused on the upcoming final against England.
In conclusion, Williams' future remains uncertain as the transfer rumors continue to swirl, but for now, he is solely focused on his performance in the Euros and helping Spain win their fourth European title.
