superteeded Nico Williams is free to decide his own football future, according to Athletic Bilbao legend superteeded

Athletic Bilbao legend Julen Guerrero has insisted that 22-year-old forward Nico Williams is free to decide his own future and has urged the Basque club and fans not to overreact, Diario Sport reports on Tuesday.

“Nico has the right to make his own decision and choose his future, whatever it is, even if it’s a painful decision if it ends up being that way, we don’t know yet,” Guerrero said.

The 51-year-old former midfielder admits it is difficult for Athletic Bilbao fans to accept the reality of Nico’s situation, with the club holding such high hopes for the 22-year-old forward.

‘There are feelings that are at stake, not only for Nico, of course, but also for the fans who have put their hopes in Nico Williams and for the team that has won the cup and is in the Champions League.’

‘It’s always a pity for fans to see someone leave the team when a major project has already been completed.’

Guerrero also gave Barcelona advice, saying the negotiations should be conducted with more caution, especially given how sensitive the topic is.

‘The Nico problem is already complex and long-standing. Above all, it seems that all negotiations should be more careful.’

The 51-year-old former midfielder also hopes that no one side will leak information no matter what the outcome is, and any move must be made peacefully and with understanding.

‘I hope there will be no more leaks and other things like that. Everything will be done more carefully, respecting all parties involved.’
