End of Liverpool hopes: Nico extends his Bilbao contract until 2027

Liverpool, Barcelona, and Aston Villa have all been linked with the 21-year-old winger, but Nico Williams is going nowhere. The talented player of Ghanaian origins has renewed his contract with Athletic Bilbao until 2027.

Part of the hope behind the interest was the fact that Williams' contract was due to expire at the end of the season. However, he has now agreed to a four-year extension.

"I am happy in Bilbao," he said on the weekend about his future. "People have to stay calm, I have to keep working."

Williams has continued to impress for Athletic this season, racking up seven assists as he nears a century of games for the La Liga team despite his tender age.

Nico has decided to continue his path with the Biscayan club together with his brother Inaki, turning a deaf ear to the siren songs of the powerful clubs that had already asked about him in the face of the upcoming transfer windows.
