On July 4, La Liga powerhouse Athletic Bilbao officially announced that the team has completed a contract renewal with Nicho Williams, and the new contract ends until the end of June 2035. Nico's contract renewal disappointed Barcelona fans. In recent years, Barcelona has been very close to Nico and there are constant transfer news, but now Barcelona can change the target of signing. 90 million euros! The longest contract for La Liga was born: the 22-year-old superstar has increased his salary for 10 years, and Barcelona's wish is disappointed. After Nico renewed his contract with Athletic Bilbao, the termination fee in his new contract has also increased by more than 50%. According to Romano, Nico's previous liquidated damages were 58 million euros, and the salary of the new contract was increased. Due to registration issues, Nico's transaction to join Barcelona has failed. Nico's contract extension ended the transfer scandal. He directly signed a new 10-year contract with Athletic Bilbao, which means he is a team that will end his life.

Athletic Bilbao has an obsession with players of Basque ancestry. Players of this type of blood are often loyal to the team, have a tough and passionate style. Nicho Williams' older brother Iniyaki Williams also signed a long contract with Bi Bao and renewed the contract until 2028. After Nico renewed his contract with Athletic Bilbao, he is now the player with the longest contract in the La Liga, setting a new record for La Liga players.

Barcelona is one of the largest teams in Spain and is the yearning for many players. Yamal is Nico's good friend. The two cooperated well in the Spanish national team and were a combination of the two wings of the Spanish team. Yamal hopes Nico can come to Barcelona. Judging from previous news, Nico was very close to joining Barcelona. Former Barcelona reporter Romero once said that Nico would come to Barcelona 99.9%. Because Nico and Barcelona were flirting with each other, he was also criticized by Bibao fans and the mural was destroyed.

If Barcelona form the frontcourt offensive combination of Nico, Rafinia, Yamal and Lewand next season, it can be said to be picturesque. The twin-side combination of Nico and Yamal will further speed up Barcelona's offense and the blasting ability on the wing will be stronger. Unfortunately, Nico finally stayed in the team and Barcelona could not introduce him this summer.

Perhaps Nico really has the possibility of using Barcelona to raise the price for renewal. He can negotiate a transfer with Barcelona and win a richer contract for himself in Bibao. Now Athletic Bilbao has left Nico as he wishes, and the players' salaries have also been improved. It is a 10-year long appointment, so only Barcelona has been working in vain.

If Barcelona wants to introduce Nico in the future, they will need to pay about 90 million euros to terminate the contract, and of course they also need to agree to the transfer. Is Barcelona really going to sign Rashford to strengthen the left side this summer?
