Nico Williams, whose contract at Athletic Club expires at the conclusion of the season, seems to be the most sought-after talent in Spanish football in the following year.
Nico’s extraordinary improvement over the previous several years has not gone unnoticed, with many big European teams, including Barcelona, interested in his services.
Real Madrid has joined the competition to sign Nico Williams.
According to a recent AS story, Barcelona will face heavy competition from archrivals Real Madrid, who look to have joined the battle to recruit Nico Williams.
According to the report, the Spanish heavyweights have put the youthful Athletic Club on their transfer wishlist.
The club’s administration see the 21-year-old as an intriguing possibility due to his development. His age profile makes him an intriguing alternative for Los Blancos.
Nico’s development, however, is what makes him such an intriguing target for Real Madrid. At the age of 21, the striker has approximately 100 competitive appearances for Athletic Club and ten caps for the Spanish national team.
The release clause for Nico Williams
Nico Williams’ contract with Athletic Club ends at the conclusion of the season, giving Real Madrid an ideal market chance to recruit him on a free transfer next summer.
However, there remains one major stumbling block for Real Madrid. With English teams keen, Athletic may contemplate signing the forward in January for a large fee.
According to the source, Nico Williams’ contract has a €50 million release clause that, if triggered, allows teams to sign him during the January transfer window.
Athletic Club, on the other hand, is working hard to extend his contract. As a result, it will be intriguing to observe how events unfold in the next months.
