Real Madrid Confidencial Real Madrid's reaction to Nico Williams, call to Athletic: 'We...'
From the white club, they contact Athletic to discuss the Nico issue
It seems that Nico Williams is getting closer to Barcelona, although nothing has been confirmed yet. We already know that the financial situation of the blaugranas calls for caution at all times. However, even though they can't register him yet, everything is already set for his arrival to take place.
All this is despite the rumors that placed Real Madrid behind the signing of Nico Williams. The doubts surrounding Rodrygo's future put the Spanish international in the spotlight. It seemed to be the option most favored by the Merengue side to take his place.
However, José Ángel Sánchez was the one who stepped forward and called Athletic directly. He wanted to make everything clear and confirmed to the Rojiblanco club that they weren't behind the signing of Nico Williams. "We're not interested" was what Real Madrid conveyed on the matter.
That cleared the way for Barça, which hasn't seemed to have many rivals since then except for Bayern. After reaching an agreement with the Culers, Nico Williams will become a new blaugrana signing. However, the Spanish international has already demanded guarantees that it will happen.
Real Madrid ruled out Nico Williams's arrival for this summer
It's true that Real Madrid has had Nico Williams in its sights, monitoring his performance. They considered that he had a lot of quality and his youth supported him. However, the inconsistency he has shown was something that worried Los Blancos.
That's why they ended up ruling out his signing, at least reconsidering it for this summer. Especially because he was going to arrive to fill the gap that Rodrygo would leave with his possible departure. That's something that doesn't seem likely to happen despite the many rumors.
At Real Madrid, they take the continuity of the former Santos player for granted for next season. They also consider that right now Nico doesn't improve any of the forwards they have. That's why he's not a signing they have on their agenda for this summer.
