Real Madrid are interested in signing Nico Williams from Athletic Bilbao, according to Marca. The winger was a target for Barcelona last summer, but talks never progressed after he decided to stay at his boyhood club.
Marca state: “Real Madrid know that signing Nico will also be a massive hit to Barcelona, as they always wanted him.” The report highlights the rivalry factor in the transfer, beyond just football reasons.
Williams has a release clause of around €55–60 million. Real Madrid are reportedly willing to pay it, as they see him as a strong addition to their attack.
If Williams does join Madrid, it would be another blow to Barcelona, who are struggling financially and missed out on him just months ago.
