The 23-year-old Spanish forward chose loyalty over high-profile moves, penning a deal that will keep him at the Basque club until 2035. “When you have to make decisions, for me, the heart matters most. I’m where I want to be, with my people—this is my home,” Nico Williams explained as he confirmed his decision to stay.
The new contract also includes a release clause increase of nearly 50%, rising from €58 million to €87 million.
Born in Iruñea in 2002, Nico joined Lezama in the 2013/14 season, following in the footsteps of his brother Iñaki, who is the current captain of Athletic Bilbao. Nico made his first-team debut on 28 April 2021, aged just 18, and over five seasons has recorded 167 appearances and 31 goals, lifting the Copa del Rey and helping the team reach a Europa League semi-final while securing Champions League qualification in the most recent campaign.
