Targeted by Barcelona and PSG last summer, Nico Williams is also followed by Real Madrid, who are considering signing the Spanish international in the next transfer window… in the event of Rodrygo’s departure.
Looking for a winger to compensate for the departure of Kylian Mbappé last summer, Paris Saint-Germain had set its sights on Nico Williams. The Spanish international’s path had been validated by Luis Enrique, but the 2024 European champion finally made the decision to do one more season at Athletic Bilbao. Next summer, it’s a safe bet that the Basque striker will once again shake up the transfer market but this time, PSG will not only be opposed to Barça in this matter. And for good reason, the Cope in Spain tells us that a third top European club is in the running to secure the services of the left winger from La Roja… Real Madrid.
Real invites itself into the Nico Williams file
After recruiting Endrick and Kylian Mbappé last summer, the Merengue club would welcome the signing of a pure Spanish prodigy in the person of Nico Williams, who could join the Madrid capital on the condition that Rodrygo or Vinicius be sold. An interest very frowned upon by FC Barcelona, which was the absolute favorite to sign Nico Williams last summer, before the latter finally made the decision to stay a final season in Bilbao. A huge battle is therefore likely to emerge to afford the 22-year-old Spanish prodigy, especially since his release clause makes him available for a derisory sum given his immense talent.
Indeed, the Bilbao striker has a clause of only 58 million euros in his contract. Without a doubt, Paris SG will observe the upcoming battle between Real and Barça with the greatest attention, with the desire to win the prize to everyone’s surprise. Luis Enrique will in any case ask his management to try their luck in this matter, without assurance however that Nico Williams is inclined to leave La Liga to join France.
