Athletic Bilbao has closed a season to forget. On the pitch, the team failed to impress in any of the competitions it played, with an early elimination in the Champions League and a minimum objective in LaLiga, where survival became the priority in the last few rounds of the tournament. In the Copa del Rey, it competed until the semifinals, falling eliminated against Real Sociedad, the eventual champion. And the Supercopa ended up being a humiliation against Barcelona, conceding a 5-0. The so-called 'athleticzale' project, all the illusion that the renewal of Nico Williams projected, dissipated in a sigh. This 'annus horribilis' lived in San Mamés has had a negative impact on all the club's departments. Ernesto Valverde opted not to renew his contract and Jon Uriarte was forced to call elections to renew the support of the social mass. Finally, the Basque businessman did not have an opponent and won by default. The estimate made from the Palacio de Ibaigane, the club's headquarters, is that Nico was worth that money, but they did not count on the irregular course that the left winger has suffered. Nico Williams has seen his progression hindered this past season. Injuries have hindered him continuously, losing up to 19 matches between all competitions, and his offensive contribution was limited to six goals and seven assists in 32 matches. Those poor numbers have penalized him in his market valuation. If in June 2025 Nico Williams was worth 70 million euros according to the 'Transfermarkt' portal, now his value has been reduced to 40 'kilos'. A rapid devaluation that, despite this, has not harmed him to be in Luis de la Fuente's World Cup list. If the pubalgia allows it, the Pamplonese is called to be one of the important players of Spain in the World Cup that will start this Thursday. The loss of market value is a common fact among all the footballers of Athletic Club, since the squad has passed from having a value of 370 million to 229. Oihan Sancet and Daniel Vivian are other of the lions who have helped to devalue the team's vest.
