Real Madrid Confidencial Mou Wants to See Him with Güler and Suggests the Transfer, Most Painful Blow to Barça
Mourinho wants to see Nico Williams alongside Arda Güler at Real Madrid: "I want to see him dressed in white"
Jose Mourinho has sparked speculation about the future of Nico Williams, one of Spanish soccer's jewels.
The Portuguese coach, now at Fenerbahçe, praised the Athletic Club winger before the recent Europa League clash between the two teams. During the build-up, Mourinho made clear his admiration for the player and his desire to see him dressed in white.
"He is a player with dribbling ability, speed and capacity to change games," said the coach, fuelling rumors about a possible transfer to Real Madrid.
With his direct style, Mourinho didn't hide his preference for the white club. "I have always been a Real Madrid fan," he declared.
He also said that Nico Williams would fit perfectly into the Real Madrid scheme alongside young talents such as Arda Güler. This comment is interpreted as a direct recommendation to Florentino Pérez to strengthen the team.
The blow to Barça
Real Madrid's interest in Nico Williams could be a major blow for FC Barcelona. The Catalans are also keeping a close eye on the player, who is considered one of the most promising wingers in La Liga.
If Florentino manages to get ahead of Barça, the transfer of Williams would become one of the most symbolic operations of recent years.
Nico Williams, 21, has already established himself as a key player at Athletic Club and in the Spanish national team.
His speed and ability in one-on-one situations have made him one of the most sought-after names on the market. In addition, his contract with Athletic ends in 2025, which could facilitate a negotiation in the coming months.
Florentino takes note
Mourinho's words haven't gone unnoticed by the Real Madrid board. Florentino Pérez is considering the possible transfer, which wouldn't only strengthen the team, but would also be a major blow to Barça in the fight for young talent.
Mourinho's dream of seeing Nico Williams alongside Arda Güler could be coming true. Meanwhile, Real Madrid are keeping an eye on any move, determined to maintain their hegemony in the market and on the field.
