Barcelona have reportedly ended their interest in Nico Williams. According to MARCA, the club have decided not to pursue the Athletic Club winger any further.
This has opened the door for Real Madrid. The report states they are now the most likely destination for Nico, as he prepares for the next move in his career. Xabi Alonso, who is expected to take charge, has asked for several signings. One of them is Nico.
Alonso wants fast wide players, and Nico suits his system well. “He fits the bill perfectly,” the report reads, pointing to Nico’s pace, direct style, and La Liga experience.
His 58 million euro release clause could be a problem. But Real Madrid may sell Rodrygo to fund the move. Arsenal and Chelsea are both interested in the Brazilian, and his departure could make room for Nico.
