Nico Williams' soap opera was in a turmoil in the early summer transfer market, and eventually the player renewed his contract with Biba for 10 years. Athletic Bilbao coach Valverde was asked about this when attending a press conference.
Valverde commented: "The summer transfer market tells us that a lot of things are coming up, but you can never predict what will happen next. I didn't stop and think about whether Nico will leave behind. His situation is similar to last year, but there is no drama. In the end, Nico stayed and we were delighted with his decision. All this noise must be put on hold, work and cheered up again."
