Juanma Rodríguez reveals the truth about the Nico Williams case, anger at Camp Nou

Just like last summer, Nico Williams has once again been linked with Barcelona. With several media outlets reporting that Nico's intention is to become a blaugrana, the transfer seems close to being finalized. A signing that, of course, has caused a lot of excitement at Camp Nou despite not accepting a harsh reality.

Juanma Rodríguez, in light of this imminent signing, has revealed that Barcelona was never Nico Williams's first choice. The Athletic Club footballer always intended to be part of Real Madrid. As a Real Madrid fan, Nico tried to sign for Real Madrid with the help of his agent, Félix Tainta.

However, after being rejected by Florentino Pérez himself, Nico Williams had to settle for Barcelona. By signing for his second choice, this revelation from Juanma Rodríguez has caused discomfort at Camp Nou and among all blaugrana fans.

Nico Williams's frustrated dream

At just 22 years old, Nico Williams is one of the great talents of Spanish soccer. Having been part of Athletic Club since 2021, Nico hasn't stopped improving his performance remarkably. Although injuries affected him more than expected this season, Nico managed to keep his talent as a left winger.

With a clear intention to leave Athletic Club this summer, Nico Williams's greatest desire was to be part of Real Madrid. A dream that was denied by Florentino Pérez, who believes that Nico Williams doesn't have the level to be part of Real Madrid.

Having scored just 11 goals and provided 7 assists, these numbers are far below those of Mbappé and Vinícius. In addition, Florentino made it clear that the left winger position is already well covered, considering the signing of Nico Williams unnecessary.

The reality exposed by Juanma

Despite the discomfort at Camp Nou, Juanma Rodríguez spoke nothing but the truth about the operation for Nico Williams. After failing to fulfill his dream, Nico will have to settle for signing with a club far inferior to Real Madrid.
