Iñaki Williams (Bilbao, 15-6-1994) made his debut for Ghana against Brazil. He talks about the process of making a decision that honours his origins, that places him in the World Cup and that definitively puts aside the option of returning to play for Spain. He made his debut with the Ghana shirt against Brazil, the result was not good, but the memory will remain.

"I am very happy, happy and proud to fulfil a dream, the dream of my whole family, especially my grandparents, who helped me make the decision I have taken. I'm proud and looking forward to playing again and to scoring a goal," the 28-year-old striker told Spanish daily AS.

During the same interview, the Athletic Bilbao striker who is one of the stars of LaLiga accepted that he recently came close to signing for Liverpool, who sought him as a replacement for Sadio Mané who was sold to Bayern Munich for 33 million euros, but is not doing well in the Bundesliga.

"I had an option to be able to leave. They were contacts in which I made my position clear. It's nice to be approached by clubs like that, but I've always been clear that I want to be at Athletic, that my dream is to be able to pull out the bag. To make Athletic champions. I like the Premier League a lot, because of how they live football and how they interpret it. It is very attractive.

Liverpool had to pay at least 100 million euros for the African

Liverpool thought about sitting down to negotiate with Athletic Bilbao as the Basques have tied the player until June 2028 with a clause of 135M€. At first Bilbao did not contemplate the option of letting go of their franchise player but an offer close to €100m could make them change their mind.
