Athletic Club’s Nico Williams was a key figure in the recent European Championship and is referred to as one of the most promising talents in Spanish football. He has ended up high on Merengues’ priority list. – Valdebebas values not only his ability to create imbalance on the wing and his young age, but also the symbolic blow it would be to bring him in after FC Barcelona’s failed attempt last summer, according to Marca.
The white club’s interest has been greatly reactivated after Williams’ outstanding performances in the national team and his consolidation at the top level. Nico, only 22 years old, has shown that he is ready for a level jump, and Real Madrid, who are aware of this, are willing to activate his buyout clause, which is between €58 million and €60 million. This sum does not intimidate the board, which sees the Navarian player as an ideal piece to renew the team’s attack.
It’s all about convincing Nico Williams.
At the same time, concern is increasing in Athletic. The red and white club know that it will be difficult to keep the youngest of the Williams brothers in light of such a direct attack from the reigning European champions. Although the Premier League is also following the situation with interest, the appeal of the Real Madrid project, combined with the opportunity to stay in La Liga, may weigh most heavily for the player.
If his arrival is confirmed, it is not ruled out that the white club will make adjustments to the attacking line. Players like Rodrygo Goes are already on the sale list, which could open the door to a long-term restructuring of the attack. The investment in Nico is not only sporting; it is strategic, media-oriented and not least a clear signal of the new Real Madrid’s ambitions.
