It is a blow to the clubs that have long pursued him.His message left little room for doubt. “I am very comfortable at Athletic,” Williams said, as reported by Fabrizio Romano and Spanish outlet Cadena Ser. “I would like to see out my entire contract.

Arsenal admired him for over a year, while Barcelona pushed hard last summer before his stay was confirmed.He instead signed a remarkable extension that ties him to San Mames until 2035.Arsenal had, in fact, already stepped back. Sporting director Andrea Berta rated him as a priority for the left flank, but the Gunners cooled their interest in May.Sources said they doubted whether Williams truly wanted to leave Bilbao.These latest comments appear to vindicate that call. With a buy-out clause set deliberately high, Athletic are in a powerful position to keep him.His loyalty has come despite a testing season. Williams battled fitness problems, including a bout of osteitis pubis and a muscular injury, but remained central to Spain’s plans at the World Cup.
