Nico Williams's name has resurfaced strongly in the corridors of the transfer market. The winger from Athletic Club de Bilbao is one of the most promising young stars in LaLiga. It is not surprising that a footballer of his caliber is on Real Madrid's list of future signings, always in search of young talent.
Two summers ago, the white club already considered the option of signing Nico when he was close to becoming a free agent. However, at that time the priority was to wait for Kylian Mbappé. With the summer, MARCA places the Bilbao player in the Madrid orbit, causing a stir among media and fans.
Siro López's investigation
In the face of these speculations, journalist Siro López decided to seek the truth. On his YouTube channel, he confessed that he contacted "reliable" sources to confirm or deny any link between Real Madrid and Nico Williams.
His question was direct: Can Nico Williams be a Real Madrid player in the near future? The answer was clear and forceful. According to his sources, "the first surprised are themselves", as there have been no negotiations or approaches with Athletic Club or the player himself.
Additionally, Siro López explained that, if there were interest, the Madrid club would first speak with Athletic, which holds the player's rights, and they would not make any decision without their consent. This shows the respect that institutions keep for contractual structures and the usual protocols in professional soccer.
Real Madrid hasn't made a move
The most relevant information that Siro López provides is that, currently, Real Madrid "is not interested in Nico Williams". Nor has it made any effort to approach his representatives or negotiate with Athletic Club.
These words break with the version that some media spread, placing the young talent on the list of possible Madrid signings. The journalist himself considers that this statement, based on his sources, serves as an indirect response from the white club to the information published by MARCA.
Confirmation by other journalists
Siro López is not the only one who has denied the supposed interest of Real Madrid in Nico Williams. Ramón Álvarez de Mon, with sources from the club, also assures that Real Madrid doesn't plan to sign the player for now.
The coincidence among journalists confirms that Nico Williams's arrival at Real Madrid has no basis or real negotiations for now.
