They reveal Real Madrid's role in Nico Williams's signing by Barça

Nico Williams will finally become a Barça signing this upcoming summer, if they're able to register him. After they claimed to have a deal last year and the Spanish international ended up renewing his contract. Now they'll have to pay his release clause to secure his services.

However, in the operation, Real Madrid would have played a major role in how events unfolded. For a long time, there were rumors about his possible arrival at the white club. They saw him as a good alternative in case Rodrygo left.

However, it was COPE that revealed what really happened with Nico Williams. He would have contacted Barça and sent them an ultimatum. If they don't act and give him guarantees of his signing this summer "he's going to Real Madrid".

This threat has caused nervousness in the offices of the blaugrana club because of what might happen. The same thing happened to them with Arda Güler or Endrick, whom they thought they'd already secured. When it came down to it, they weren't able to compete with Real Madrid.

Real Madrid will not go after Nico Williams's signing this summer

It's true that for several weeks Nico Williams's name was strongly linked to Real Madrid. However, despite the doubts, Rodrygo seems like he'll finally stay at the white club. They're not considering bringing in any striker who isn't a pure striker.

Especially because there won't be any departures, with the former Santos player planning to keep fighting. So they only want a striker, and even Gonzalo's emergence could stop everything. That's why Nico Williams was ruled out despite the rumors that circulated.

They've left the way clear for Barça to secure the Spanish international's services. At the white club, they considered his inconsistency to be decisive. In addition to thinking that he didn't improve on any of the strikers they currently have in the squad.
