(Source: @sport)
Nico Williams, one of Spain’s brightest young football stars, has taken a major step toward joining FC Barcelona, as his family—who once played a key role in urging him to stay at Athletic Club—has now fully accepted and supported his decision to leave.
For months, there has been speculation surrounding Nico’s future. Despite being a fan favorite at Athletic and enjoying strong emotional and familial roots in Bilbao, the 21-year-old winger has made it clear he wants to take the next step in his career. His explosive performances at both club level and with the Spanish national team have made him a hot target, with Barcelona showing strong interest this summer.
Initially, his family—particularly those deeply tied to the Basque region and Athletic Club’s traditions—had hoped he would remain loyal to the team that developed him. But as Nico’s desire to compete for major trophies and grow under a bigger spotlight became evident, the family has now dropped all resistance and has given him their full blessing to join the Catalan giants.
This change in family stance is significant, as personal and emotional factors often weigh heavily on young players when making career-defining moves. With their emotional approval now secured, Nico Williams no longer faces the internal conflict of choosing between family expectations and professional ambition.
The focus now shifts entirely to the negotiations between Barcelona and Athletic Club, as well as the financial implications of triggering his €58 million release clause. If the deal goes through, Nico would bring youth, flair, and dynamism to Barcelona’s left flank—something the club has been keen to strengthen under Hansi Flick’s new era.
In summary, the last major personal barrier to the transfer has now been cleared. With his family on board, and Barcelona pushing hard, Nico Williams’ move to Camp Nou is edging closer to reality.
