Nico Williams rejected Aston Villa offer

Athletic's sporting director spoke a few weeks ago about Nico Williams and assured that there will be no problems for him to stay in the team for many years. Mikel Gonzalez believes that his family's sense of belonging to Bilbao will make the difference.

In fact, the head of sporting planning at the Bizkaia club was not wrong. According to 'Mail Online', the player turned down Unai Emery's Aston Villa.

The English digital media claimed that the English side were willing to put 50 million euros on the table to pay Nico Williams' termination clause and offer him a salary of around 136,000 euros a week.

Nothing could be further from the truth, the winger from Navarre wants to continue to develop with the 'Lions' and does not want to leave Bilbao in the current winter transfer window.
