Nico Williams responds to transfer speculations

Spain forward Nico Williams has addressed transfer speculation linking him with a move away from San Mames.

The 21-year-old has become one of Europe's most sought-after players following his impressive season with Bilbao and his performance at the ongoing European Championship in Germany.

Williams played a crucial role in Ernesto Valverde's side winning the Copa del Rey title last season, defeating Mallorca in the shootouts.

He also recorded eight goals and 19 assists in 37 appearances across all competitions for Bilbao.

At the Euros, he has scored one goal and provided one assist in three outings, helping Spain reach the quarterfinals.

Williams' performance has drawn interest from top European clubs, with Barcelona and Chelsea leading the race for his signature.

Liverpool and Arsenal are also reportedly interested in the young winger.

When asked about the rumors surrounding his future, Williams said, "Everything that comes from outside is good; it means I'm doing my job well. Every kid dream of being noticed by big clubs."

He added, "I'm focused on doing well at the European Championship, and whatever comes after that, I'll find out because these days I'm totally disconnected."

According to reports, Williams is interested in joining Barcelona, partly due to his close bond with the club's 16-year-old wonderkid, Lamine Yamal.
