Nico Williams, who has attracted interest from Arsenal and Barcelona, insists that the ongoing speculation around his future won’t distract him this season. Despite a summer filled with transfer rumors, the Athletic Club winger remains focused on his current team and personal growth.
Williams was heavily linked with a move after his impressive performances for Spain during their Euro 2024 triumph. Both Arsenal and Barcelona expressed strong interest in signing the 22-year-old, whose contract includes a €58 million (£48.5 million) release clause. However, Williams decided to stay with Athletic Club, taking the prestigious No. 10 shirt, a sign of his growing importance to the team.
