Inaki Williams slams Barcelona's ‘lies’ over failed Nico Williams transfer

Ghana international and Athletic Club's captain has launched a scathing attack on Barcelona, accusing them of spreading falsehoods and running a dirty tricks campaign to try and poach his younger brother this summer.

Inaki Williams pulled no punches when discussing Barcelona's pursuit of Nico, claiming the Catalan giants told outright lies during their failed attempt to lure the 22-year-old away from Bilbao.

The saga began when Barcelona made another attempt to sign Nico after chasing him last summer. Reports suggested that whilst Barcelona were tracking Luis Diaz, Nico's representative contacted sporting director Deco to express interest in a Camp Nou move.

However, after three weeks of uncertainty and Barcelona's inability to guarantee the player's registration, Nico penned a new contract with Athletic running until 2035. Barcelona president Joan Laporta has publicly confirmed this version of events.
