Nico Williams puts his signature to his strong Athletic bond

Nico Williams wants to continue making history with Athletic Club, with whom he has signed today in San Mames the strong bond acquired, a renewal until 30 June 2035, the longest agreement of the first team. It is eight years more than his previous agreement, which was signed this afternoon with the president, Jon Uriarte, the general director of football, Mikel González, and his brother and captain, Iñaki Williams. His mother, María Arthuer, ambassador for Athletic Club's 125th anniversary, and his friends, who had a surprise gift for him in the form of a painting, were also present. The red and white family is in luck.

The renewal of Nico Williams, the player with the greatest international projection in the history of our club, has given a great boost to the sport project. Following in the footsteps of Iñaki, who in 2019 extended his contract until 2028, the continuity of the younger brother is a blow to Athletic's self-esteem in a very exciting year, with the return to the Champions League eleven seasons later, a competition in which both players will be making their debut.

Nico was delighted, very smiling, at the traditional event, in which Athletic WIN (Williams, Iñaki and Nico) was very present, with a new Athletic Club AC line shirt inspired by the WIN concept and which reflects the triumph of the model against the powerful proposals of other clubs. The protagonist of the day highlighted that: 'We have very ambitious titles at stake, such as the Champions League, what better than to do it with the club of my life, I would like to continue making history here at San Mames, with the fans and with my family.' 

He also had words of thanks for his brother Iñaki: 'We have both always dreamed of this moment, my brother is a reference point for everyone and above all for me. I think he's the best man to be captain, I'm looking forward to seeing him wearing the armband for a long time.' 

To finish, Nico sent a message to the Athleticzale family: 'I hope to respond to the maximum with everything they have given me, I hope to make them enjoy it as always. This is also for them, I've always felt a lot of affection towards me, I'm very proud of the fans I have'.
