Williams is expected to leave Athletic this summer, though Valverde insists he's calm about the situation.

He told El Correo: "I'm completely calm and I want Nico to be calm too."

It's suggested Barca president Joan Laporta is determined to reunite Lamine Yamal with his Spain teammate Nico for the new season.
