Athletic Bilbao winger Neco Williams shocked everyone by officially renewing his contract with his club, despite confirmed reports linking him to a move to Barcelona after his €58 million release clause was activated.
According to the Spanish newspaper El Nacional, Barcelona president Joan Laporta was furious upon hearing the news, stating internally that the club would no longer consider Williams as a future signing, viewing the incident as a breach of trust.
Bayern Munich reacted equally strongly, immediately halting negotiations. Uli Hoeness declared that the player would not be on the club’s radar for the foreseeable future, accusing Bilbao of artificially inflating his price.
What is even more surprising is that the player, who was just steps away from signing, withdrew due to concerns about the difficulties of registering new players, similar to what happened with Dani Olmo last season.
Now, with the major interested clubs stepping back… Has Neco Williams lost his golden opportunity to join a top club? Or is there a hidden plan quietly unfolding?
