Spanish international and rising star Nico Williams, the younger brother of Ghana’s Inaki Williams, has committed his future to Athletic Club, signing a new contract that will keep him in Bilbao until 2035.
The 21-year-old winger, known for his explosive pace and flair on the flanks, has extended his stay at the club he calls home—solidifying his bond with the Basque outfit for the next ten seasons.
As part of the new agreement, Nico’s release clause has been increased by more than 50%, reflecting his rising market value and importance to the team.
The deal is a major statement of intent by Athletic Club, who are keen to build their future around the talented attacker, and a nod to Nico’s loyalty to the club that helped shape his development from a youth prospect into a La Liga star.
With interest from top European clubs swirling in recent months, this long-term extension puts to rest any speculation about his immediate future.
Nico, who played a key role in Spain’s impressive performances at UEFA Euro 2024, continues to build his own legacy alongside his older brother Inaki, who represents Ghana at international level.
Their unique football journey—two brothers excelling for club and different national teams—has captured the imagination of fans across continents.
