His agents, Félix Tainta and Juan Oyaga, told AS: “The boy had an outstanding year and confirmed it by being the best player in the European Championships. Naturally, there’s been a lot of movement and travel, and it all happened in a short time. By the end of the transfer window, there’s some stress, but we enjoy it. The player has decided to stay; he wanted to spend another year and keep working.”
While Williams will remain at Athletic for this season, speculation over a potential transfer may resurface next summer. Reports suggest that Barcelona could renew their interest in him next year. According to his agents, the 21-year-old chose to stay in the Basque Country for another season, but rumors indicate Barcelona might pursue him again, leading to another transfer saga
