Florentino Pérez is currently planning his squad for next season. In the last few hours, the famous transfer guru, François Gallardo, has released the shocking move that Real Madrid is preparing. We are talking about the arrival of a player who, a few months ago, seemed to be very close to Barça: Nico Williams.
On the YouTube channel El 10 del Barça, François Gallardo stated: "Nico Williams will go to Real Madrid, Haaland will come to Barça and Vinícius Júnior will leave." The former Josep Pedrerol commentator was straight, although the reality is that no one is considering Vinícius Júnior's departure at Real Madrid right now.
Florentino Pérez Takes Nico Williams Away from Laporta: 58 Million
François Gallardo's information on the possible arrival of Nico Williams to Real Madrid is compelling. The Spaniard has a release clause of 58 million euros, although Florentino Pérez has always opted to negotiate a higher price in these cases. He is a player that the president likes a lot and could take him away from Laporta.
Nico Williams has been linked with Barça a lot in recent months and seemed to be very close. However, Laporta ultimately never paid his release clause. In this case, Florentino Pérez wouldn't mess around and would go all out for the Spanish international, according to transfer guru François Gallardo.
François Gallardo Warns Vinícius Júnior
This is not the first time that François has hinted at a possible departure of Vinícius Júnior from Real Madrid. A few months ago, on the Catalonian program Rondeando, he said:
"He is preparing his way to leave. With the departure of Vinícius Júnior, next summer is when Nico Williams will come to Real Madrid. He won't sign for Barça."
Nico Williams's arrival would depend on the departure of Vinícius Júnior. Real Madrid has no intention of letting him go. Whether he wants to leave is a different story, which is not at all clear. In any case, it seems that this will once again be one of the many news from François Gallardo that comes to absolutely nothing.
