Real Madrid Confidencial Announce the background of the Nico Williams and Real Madrid case, there's a secret bomb.
The white team wants to put pressure on the winger regarding Rodrygo and Vinicius to decide their future as soon as possible
In recent days, the name of Nico Williams has been linked to Real Madrid. Several media outlets claimed that the club was preparing an offensive for the Athletic winger.
However, the reality is quite different. From within the club, they assure that there is no real interest in signing the player.
The leak is part of an internal strategy. The goal is not to strengthen the left wing, but to put pressure on two key figures in the current attack: Vinicius and Rodrygo. Especially the latter, whose future remains uncertain.
Rodrygo, between Bernabéu and the Premier
Rodrygo is the player most affected by this maneuver. His continuity is not guaranteed, and the club wants him to define his future before the start of summer. Meanwhile, Arsenal and Manchester City are following him very closely.
Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola have shown personal interest in signing him. According to sources close to the player's environment, both coaches have already called Rodrygo to convey their trust and explain his role in their respective projects.
Rodrygo, for now, remains silent. He knows that with the arrival of Mbappé and the rise of figures like Endrick or Arda Güler, his place in the starting eleven could be reduced. That's why the club has decided to increase the pressure, letting it leak that they might go for Nico Williams.
Nico's clause, the perfect excuse
The Athletic winger has a release clause of 58 million euros. A reasonable price in the current market for a Spanish international in full bloom. His profile is liked in Valdebebas, but he is not on the club's priority list.
The leak has been calculated. It serves to send a message: if Rodrygo wants to leave, there are alternatives. And if he stays, he will have to fight harder than ever for minutes.
In reality, Nico Williams will not join Madrid unless there is a radical change. His case has served as a smokescreen and as an internal pressure lever.
Because in Real Madrid, as has happened before, nothing is said without intention. The strategy goes beyond the market: it is pure sports politics.
