According to a report from Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg, Nico Williams has spurned both Bayern Munich and FC Barcelona in favor of a mega contract extension with Athletic Bilbao: BREAKING | Nico #Williams has signed a new contract with @AthleticClub until 2035!

The transfer of Nico Williams from Athletic to Barcelona did not go through because the player demanded a clause in the contract allowing him to leave if registration was not possible, which the Catalan club refused,

The Catalan club were rebuffed by Athletic Club last summer and had to compete with Bayern Munich for the winger.
