Athletic Club pushing to renew Barcelona target Nico Williams’ contract

Nico Williams’s future is likely to be the subject of much speculation again next summer, with claims Barcelona are already thinking about reigniting their interest in the Spain star.

The Athletic Club star has a release clause of €60 million in his current contract but that could be about to rise, according to Diario Sport.

Ernesto Valverde’s side are pushing to renew his existing deal and increase his clause in a bid to try and keep him at San Mames.

The report claims Athletic want to “substantially” raise the clause with a figure that will “intimidate” interested clubs.
