The Nico Williams saga dominated the news surrounding Barcelona for the entire summer transfer window, with the player at one point almost certain to join the Blaugrana before reportedly changing his mind at least minute and rejecting a move to Catalonia.
Williams was also heavily linked with moves to the Premier League, but ended up staying at Athletic Club and will play at least another season in the Basque Country alongside his brother Iñaki.
Nico spoke to the press after Athletic’s 1-0 defeat to Atlético Madrid on Saturday about all the speculation surrounding his future, and the winger made it clear he never wanted to leave Bilbao.
