Bilbao's mayor bursts into Nico Williams operation, warning to Madrid

In recent days, one of the players most linked to Real Madrid is Nico Williams. The young winger from Athletic Club has once again completed a more than decent season, being one of the team's protagonists. Although Barcelona sought his signing last summer, now Real Madrid is the club interested.

Seeing Nico Williams as a player with the potential to be the club's new star, Real Madrid is analyzing his transfer. However, aware of this possible move, the mayor of Bilbao has spoken on the matter. "If he's smart, he'll stay at Athletic. He won't be anywhere better than here," said Juan María Aburto.

"With Athletic, you can also compete, you can win a title, and you can access the Champions League," added the mayor. Through these words, the mayor of Bilbao has made it clear his support for Real Madrid not managing to finalize this transfer.

the stance on Nico Williams

At just 22 years old, Nico Williams is one of the most talented players in the world. Making history with Athletic Club and the Spanish national team, Nico proved his worth and, above all, his potential for the future. The 11 goals and 7 assists achieved during this season are just another demonstration of his unbelievable talent.

Despite having a contract until 2027, it is expected that Nico will end up leaving Athletic during the summer market. With several offers, Real Madrid has stood out for considering Nico a player who can be essential for their project with Xabi.

Although Real Madrid's interest in Nico has grown, Juan María Aburto's words have revealed that this operation will not be easy. Trusting Athletic's project, the mayor of Bilbao believes that Nico would make a mistake if he leaves.

Without having made a formal offer for his signing, Real Madrid continues to carefully analyze the operation for Nico. Although their interest is evident, Nico's arrival depends on Athletic's stance and, above all, the player's own decision.
