Despite an increasing feeling that Nico Williams might be favouring another year at Athletic Club over a move to Barcelona, or the chance to move to Paris Saint-Germain, an Instagram post has cast doubt on that theory.
Williams and Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal continue to enjoy their holidays together in Marbella, and the pair were seen having dinner at the Mosh Fun Kitchen on Sunday night, as shown by Cope journalist Victor Navarro.
However it was the Instagram post from Mounir, Lamine Yamal's father, that raised eyebrows. Posting just a picture of himself with Williams during Euro 2024 with the caption 'Grande Nico' [Great Nico] accompanied by two hearts, certainly the timing, with Williams decision on his future expected imminently, will raise one or two wry smiles.
In all likelihood, it is not related to where Williams will be playing his football next season, but it will spark no shortage of speculation, as Athletic and Barcelona fans remain in suspense. Over the last 24 hours, talk of Barcelona's attention shifting to Dani Olmo has grown.

Barcelona had better go to Olmo and forget him. What does he play? I swear you. Olmo is unpredictable and is a player of small space. Olmo is able to make long shoot. Nico is also good but he needs more space. Nico plays well but he misses a lot of occasions before scoring a goal.. Against strong and stable defence he won't find the work easy. Barca have to forget him. If you always run after him, he will think he is the best winger in the world and think you can't exist without him. Barcelona exists before him and will still exist after him.

Barcelona had better go for Olmo and forget Nico. Olmo is a good player able to use small space and he is unpredictable with powerful and long shoot. Nico is a good player but he misses a lot of occasions before scoring a goal. If you always run after him he will think he is the best winger in the world and think without him you can't exit. Barcelona exist before him and will still exist after him. Barcelona have to forget him. look at the case of Mbappe, let him. The time will come and he will run after Barcelona.
