He also admitted that he already imagines returning to San Mames after retirement, this time with his son.Ill go to San Mames with my son to watch new legends grow, he added.With his contract running until 2028, Williams still has time to add to his remarkable appearance tally and strengthen his status as a potential one-club man.
