Nico's decision has been relayed to Athletic through agent Felix Tainta.
It all started on June 13, with the news of a secret meeting between Nico's agent and the Barcelona executives.
The negotiations developed between June 18 and 19, until a meeting in Ibiza, where Deco - sporting director of the Blaugrana - met Nico directly, although some sources suggested a meeting with coach Hansi Flick.
The following day, an agreement was found: a contract until 2031, with a contract worth €7-8m-a-year.
Barca intend to pay his €58m buyout clause next week.
