Why Nico Williams Rejected the Arsenal Offer
Athletic Club winger Nico Williams announced he will stay in Bilbao despite interest from Arsenal, PSG and Barcelona. The player said his contract, extended to 2035, is important to him.
Nico Williams, one of Arsenal's targets, has said he turned down the London club's offer. He explained the decision by pointing to his loyalty to his family and his hometown.
Speaking to Sport Witness, the 24-year-old winger recalled that Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona had all shown interest in him. Williams said he is happy with his contract at Athletic Club, which runs until 2035.
Williams was one of the standout names before the 2022 World Cup. Like his older brother Inaki, he wears the Athletic shirt, and this time he also played a key role for the Spanish national team, contributing to two major tournament wins.
In recent months, the representative of Felix Tainta had named Barcelona, Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Liverpool and PSG as clubs interested in the player, drawing attention. Inaki Williams was reportedly bothered by those comments, and Nico responded on the subject after the weekend match against Getafe.
