Ghana international and Athletic Club captain Inaki Williams has strongly criticised Barcelona, accusing the Spanish giants of fabricating stories and orchestrating a smear campaign in their attempt to sign his younger brother Nico Williams.
Inaki, who recently led Ghana during the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, said Barcelona's conduct during their pursuit of Nico caused significant personal and emotional damage.
The 31-year-old claimed the Catalan club tried to unsettle both player and club by leaking false reports and using the media to build pressure. "We all know how the world of football works.
They wanted to apply pressure on Athletic, on my brother.
