Athletic Club’s Nico Williams Likely to Stay Put for 2024-25 Season
After speculation of a transfer to Barcelona or PSG, it seems Nico Williams will remain at Athletic Club for the upcoming 2024-25 season. The club is reportedly offering the talented player a significant salary increase following his impressive performance in Spain’s Euro 2024 victory.
Strong Performance and Potential
Williams, who had 11 assists in La Liga last season, ranked in the 93rd percentile in progressive carries. His standout display in the Euros earned him a place in the Team of the Tournament alongside five of his compatriots. At just 22 years old, Williams is seen as one of the rising stars in world football.
Bright Future for Athletic Club
Athletic Club finished fifth last season, comfortably ahead of sixth place with a strong expected goal difference. With Williams in their lineup, the team aims to secure a top-four finish in the upcoming season, competing with the likes of Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, and Barcelona.
Optimistic Outlook
As Williams enters his age-22 season, his potential for growth is promising. If Athletic Club manages to retain him, they have a solid chance of finishing in the top three in the 2024-25 season. The odds for Athletic Club to secure a top-four finish and even win the league without Real Madrid and Barcelona are looking favorable if Williams stays.
