Isn't it a bit interesting to see Nico Williams still staying at Athletic Bilbao? Huh

Didn't he get any offer from other clubs except Barcelona? For example Bayern Munich got interested but ended up with signing Luis Díaz for even a higher amount than Nico's cost.

He is still 23 of course. But I would rather watch this kind of young talents at the places they deserve. He is amazing you know. He shouldn't waste his most productive years of his career at a lower team...

You call it waste his productive years? There is a team Nico Williams will go now and his career will nosedive because he will be moved to reserve due to the presence of equal or better alternatives. Instead of going to Barcelona or Bayern Munic where he is not sure of playing 20 matches in the season, it will be better for him to remain in Athletic Bilbao and continue enjoying the attention there. You already knew he is young with plenty of years to still play football, nothing has spoilt for him yet.

Calling Nico William's stay at Athletic Bilbao might too harsh but realistically speaking, I think the Spain international deserves to play in a bigger club than his current club that he newly signed a 10-year contract with. He's for a fact one of the hottest wingers in the world at the moment and that's why I think he deserves to play in a club that has higher chances of winning major trophies than Athletic Bilbao. His chances of winning a Spanish La Liga title or UEFA Champions League title at San Mamés Stadium is very limited. He needs to move to bigger clubs where he'll contest for the biggest competitions with a team that's capable of winning major trophies.
