Williams’ stock rose dramatically following his stellar performances during Spain’s victorious Euro 2024 campaign.
He was one of the standout players of the tournament, scoring a crucial goal in Spain’s 2-1 victory over England in the final, helping his nation secure a record fourth European Championship title.
Barcelona intensified their pursuit of Williams after the tournament, while Premier League giants Arsenal and Chelsea continue to monitor the winger’s situation.
However, Williams remained focused on his national team duties during the Euros, instructing his representatives to withhold any transfer discussions until the competition concluded.
According to reports from Marca, Williams has opted to stay at Athletic Bilbao for at least another season, despite the considerable interest from both Spanish and English clubs.
During the Euros, Williams reflected on his future and the interest from other clubs. He said, “In the end, my brother [Athletic team-mate Inaki Williams] is a very important person for me. He has lived a similar situation to mine.
“He has also had offers from outside Athletic, but I said that I didn’t want to know anything about what comes from outside, about signings or stories. They know what I am like, the personality I have, and I don’t like to know because I get distracted easily. I prefer to focus on one thing and go for it.
“Because if one thing or another comes to me, in the end, my head doesn’t work very well. My agent, my parents and my family know me perfectly and they know that I don’t want to hear anything until the Euros are over.”
