In a recent interview with Spanish media, the 22-year-old winger said: “I am flattered when big clubs like Liverpool show interest. It’s a sign that the hard work I’ve put in at Athletic is being recognized across Europe. But I am fully focused on my current club and finishing the season strong.

When asked directly about the possibility of playing in the Premier League, Nico responded cautiously but with openness: “The Premier League is one of the best leagues in the world, and every player dreams of testing themselves at the highest level. But right now, I have a contract with Athletic Bilbao until 2027, and I respect this club deeply. We’ll see what the future holds, but I’m not thinking about that at the moment.”

Nico addressed the topic of financial

expectations with maturity, saying: “People talk a lot about wages and numbers, but for me, football is first about passion and commitment. Of course, every professional wants to be valued, but decisions about the future are not only about money. They are about the project, the fit, and where I can continue to grow as a player.”

He also made sure to clarify that despite constant comparisons, he is not to be confused with his older brother and teammate, Iñaki Williams: “Iñaki has been a huge influence on me, but we are different players, with different paths. I’m carving my own journey, and whatever happens, I will make sure it’s the right step for me.”
