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 Catalan club were rebuffed by Athletic Club last summer and had to compete with Bayern Munich for the winger.
