Nico Williams, according to 'El Partidazo de COPE', has already made a decision regarding his future and has informed his agent. The winger has decided to stay in Bilbao, so Barcelona and PSG can forget about signing him.

The transfer saga of the summer is about to come to an end. Nico Williams, who had made a decision regarding his future a few days ago, has already informed his agent so that he can communicate it to interested clubs.

'El Partidazo de COPE' claims that the winger will remain in Bilbao. This is what Felix Tainta, Nico Williams' agent, has reportedly told PSG, one of the Athletic player's contenders.

A setback for PSG and another for Barcelona, who have spent the last few weeks dreaming of Nico's arrival at Camp Nou. Joan Laporta assured that the club had the financial muscle to be able to sign players of the Spanish international's stature, without naming him, but he can forget about it.

After a well-deserved holiday, Nico Williams returned to his homeland on Sunday and has already made it clear what he will do. The aforementioned media outlet underlines that "if he doesn't change his mind radically", he will play for Athletic during the 2024-25 season.

However, 'Jijantes' claims that the winger has not yet officially communicated to Athletic that he will continue and, therefore, it is unknown what his destination will be. According to this other source, he is expected to do so this week, before the 12th, when he is due to return to training with the Basque side.
