Although the winger has been playing brilliantly this season, there were rumors that he was leaving.
At the time, Nico Williams’ future was the subject of much speculation.
According to several rumors, Barcelona planned to recruit the Athletic Club winger before evicting Raphinha, reports Football Espana.
The 27-year-old even posted a series of amused comments on an Instagram picture of a Williams Barcelona jersey featuring his number 11.
“The shirt thing was a bit funny, a joke in bad taste but in the end I think people have to respect the players who are in the club.
We are giving our best this season and seeing a photo like that doesn’t feel good to you. I feel like it was disrespectful but people do what they want and put the number they want.”
“But there is no special reason to explain how I started the season.
The crucial point was the desire I had and knowing that I had to be able to adapt to other positions. If I worked 100% before, now I work 200%.”
