According to a report from Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg, Nico Williams has spurned both Bayern Munich and FC Barcelona in favor of a mega contract extension with Athletic Bilbao: BREAKING | Nico #Williams has signed a new contract with @AthleticClub until 2035!

The summer transfer window has kicked off in earnest, and one name that has been running in the headlines is Nico Williams. The Athletic Club winger is at the center of a bidding war between Europe’s biggest clubs: Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

After missing out on Nico Williams, Barcelona are still interested in signing Marcus Rashford – but he is not their first choice transfer target. It has long been known that Rashford has no future at Manchester United following a fall out with head coach Ruben Amorim last year.
