Rodri, a Manchester City player, expressed his desire for the club to sign Nico Williams, a standout star from Euro 2024 and a key player for Athletic Bilbao. Rodri mentioned that he would be eager to bring Williams to Manchester City, noting that he would like to teach him about the cold weather in England, which he compared to Bilbao. He emphasized that he would take Williams without a doubt. Williams has a release clause of £48 million (€58m/$61m) and a salary of €200,000-a-week (£166,000), which was a significant factor in him not moving during the summer. Despite interest from other clubs like Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Barcelona, Williams chose to stay at Bilbao for another season.
