(Reuters) -Winger Nico Williams has signed a new eight-year contract extension which will keep him at Athletic Bilbao until 2035, the LaLiga club said on Friday, ending speculation over a potential departure to Barcelona.
Athletic added that Williams' transfer release clause had been increased by more than 50%, with reports in Spanish media saying the earlier clause was worth around 62 million euros ($73.01 million).
