Nico Williams’ transfer saga has taken a dramatic turn, with Real Madrid’s surprise interest potentially changing the landscape for the highly-rated Athletic Club winger.
While Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, and Aston Villa have all shown strong interest in Williams, the emergence of Real Madrid as a potential suitor could significantly alter his plans.
According to Todo Fichajes, Williams is now considering delaying a move to the Premier League, with the opportunity to join Real Madrid a tempting prospect.
Despite possessing two of the world’s best left-wingers in Vinicius Jr and Kylian Mbappe, Real Madrid are reportedly exploring the possibility of signing Williams as insurance against a potential departure of Vinicius Jr, who has been linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League.
With both Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo’s long-term futures uncertain, Real Madrid are seeking a top-class winger to bolster their attacking options. Nico Williams, with his release clause set at €58 million, presents an attractive option for the Spanish giants.
