The Dream Never Ends”: Nico Williams Speaks on His Future Amid Arsenal and Barcelona Interest

As speculation continues to surround his future, Nico Williams has reaffirmed his commitment to Athletic Club, stating he is “super happy” at the club despite ongoing links with Arsenal and Barcelona.

The 22-year-old winger, who turned down transfer approaches from both European giants last summer, remains focused on his current mission: leading Athletic Club to Europa League success.

The Spain international has enjoyed an impressive season and remains a pivotal figure in the team’s push for silverware.

Speaking to Sport ahead of the club’s crucial Europa League clash against Manchester United, Williams expressed his desire to make history in Bilbao. “The dream is to lift the champion’s trophy at San Mamés,” he said. “I have the opportunity to make history at this club. The dream never ends.”

Despite the persistent transfer rumours, Williams made it clear that his attention is firmly on the upcoming semi-final: “I’m 100% focused on tomorrow, on reaching the final and winning it.

I don’t want to look any further. I’m super happy here and… well, I’ve always wanted to feel important here. This is a 10/10 season for me.”

With performances that have caught the eye across Europe, his comments may not put a definitive end to speculation, but they certainly underline his commitment—at least for now—as Athletic Club chase European glory.
