Real Madrid Confidencial Manolo Lama involves Vinicius in the Nico Williams deal and warns: 'Not anymore'
The warning Manolo Lama has given about Vinicius's situation regarding the operation for Nico Williams
Looking ahead to the next season, Real Madrid seeks to have a completely strengthened squad. Although their focus is on the defense and full-backs, Real Madrid has shown interest in other positions. The attack, especially, is a position that Real Madrid might be looking to strengthen through the signing of Nico Williams.
The Athletic Club player, and former interest of Barcelona, has caused strong interest from Real Madrid. Considered one of the great talents of Spanish soccer, Manolo Lama issued a warning about his operation. "You can tell Vinicius that you're no longer going to pay him what you were going to pay him," were his words to warn about Vinicius Júnior.
These words focus on the contract renewal that Vinicius has been negotiating for months with Real Madrid. With the possible arrival of Nico Williams, Manolo Lama has made it clear that Vinicius's renewal might not be as important.
Manolo Lama's warning
At 22 years old, Nico Williams is the great star of Athletic Club and one of the best Spanish players today. Achieving the Copa del Rey and the Euro Cup last season, Nico established himself as an extremely talented winger. His 11 goals and 7 assists show the great level he has managed to keep this season.
Despite his contract until 2027 and his 58 million euro clause, Manolo Lama has strongly recommended his signing to Real Madrid. His words make it clear that, should Nico join Real Madrid, Vinicius Júnior's situation could change.
Sharing a position with the Brazilian, Nico could replace Vinicius if the occasion warrants it, leaving the merengue star in an uncomfortable position. Although his renewal is still ongoing, Real Madrid could use Nico to negotiate another agreement with Vinicius.
The situation with Vinicius Júnior
Although Lama has warned about what Real Madrid could do with Nico's signing, the reality is that Vinicius remains important to the club. Despite rumors of a possible departure, Vinicius's focus is on keeping himself in the team.
