Athletic Club winger, Nico Williams says he has no regret rejecting to join FC Barcelona last summer.

The Spanish international of Ghanaian descent was strongly pursued by La Blaugrana after playing a vital role in La Roja’s winning the UEFA Euro 2024 title.

However, Barcelona failed to meet the valuation of the promising attacker.

Williams has looked to address the speculation head-on and indicated there are no ‘what ifs’ over his call to reject Barcelona at this point in his career.

“At that moment last summer, I made the decision that I considered to be correct, and I’m very happy with it,” he told an interview with L’Equipe.

“It was for my family. The relationship we have with this club is incredible, and I don’t think I’ll find this atmosphere anywhere else,” he added.

Meanwhile, Nico Williams has strongly been linked to Arsenal and Chelsea ahead of the summer transfer window.

Williams, who joined Athletic Bilbao from Basconia in 2020 has scored six goals in all competitions in 33 appearances.
