The 'robbery' of the summer! Real Madrid could be interested in signing Nico Williams for Barça

Nico Williams remains the main driving force of the transfer market in recent days. The future of the Navarrese remains more open than ever, with FC Barcelona maintaining optimism about his possible arrival in Barcelona despite the fact that the footballer is already training with Athletic Club. The Lions are positive about the footballer's continuity in Bilbao, but the truth is that nothing is decided yet and the Catalans are confident of his incorporation.

However, the winger's operation could take a completely unexpected turn at the last minute. A 'domino effect' could end with the youngest of the Williams brothers accompanying Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius Jr. in the Real Madrid forward line next season. Manchester City are about to close the signing of Julián Álvarez to Atlético de Madrid, a transfer that will leave them with enough money in their coffers to go after a 'big fish'.

The 'skyblues' chosen one would be none other than Rodrygo Goes. The Brazilian is the 'weakest' link in the merengue attack, and his opportunities could be reduced with the arrival of the Bondy star at the Santiago Bernabéu. Guardiola is a great admirer of his style of play and has chosen him as the ideal replacement for the Argentine, so from the Etihad Stadium they would look for a way to get his services.

The forward is valued at 110 million euros according to 'Transfermarkt', so the Madridistas would ask for a figure close to that to let him go. If the Mancunians agree to deposit this amount, it would leave the whites with a lot of 'money' in their accounts and room to maneuver to find a replacement for the South American, and it is in this scenario where the name of Nico Williams comes in. According to "El Nacional", Real Madrid would like to complete their attacking trident with the Navarrese, who is very much to the liking of Florentino Pérez, who would go all out for the player who could be the 'robbery' of the summer.

His clause is not a problem

It would not be a problem for the capital club to pay the 58 million euros stipulated in the player's release clause, and they would try to convince him to join Carlo Ancelotti's squad. If this signing goes through, Barça would receive one of the hardest blows in recent years, since the winger is their main target for the summer window. However, as of today, nothing has been done, but the market is still open and anything can happen until August 30.
