The Spaniard’s current deal at San Mames expires in the summer of 2024.
The Spaniard’s current contract at San Mames is set to expire in the summer of 2024.
Even this season, he has put up some impressive figures in the Spanish top division, averaging 0.9 tackles, 1.7 shots, 1.4 crucial passes, 1.4 dribbles, and 0.6 crosses per 90 minutes. Furthermore, his adaptability allows him to step in on the left wing when needed.
If Manchester United decides to pursue him, it would be a shocking decision. Ten Hag just paid a large sum of money to import Antony from Ajax, who plays in the same position as Neco. So Nico Williams will have to settle for a spot on the bench, something he may not be happy with given his starting status at Bilbao.
