Star winger Nico Williams has once again turned down Barcelona, opting to sign a new long-term deal with Athletic Club. This commitment, reportedly until 2035, sees his release clause significantly increase, solidifying his future in Bilbao.
Barcelona eyes registering Joan Garcia & Nico Williams, facing salary cap hurdles. La Liga President Javier Tebas' recent, contradictory statements on their 1:1 spending rule status create both hope and confusion for the club's transfer plans.
Athletic Club eyes a busy summer, with Nico Williams' likely departure funding moves for Jesus Areso and a reunion with Aymeric Laporte. However, Atletico Madrid also covets Laporte, setting up a potential transfer tussle.
Nico Williams chose Barcelona, prompting Arsenal to target Borussia Dortmund's Karim Adeyemi. The Gunners seek to fortify their attack after three consecutive Premier League runner-up seasons.
