Williams’ current contract includes a release clause in the region of €55 million to €60 million
Nico Williams has emerged as a priority signing for Real Madrid, according to Spanish outlet Marca.
The Spanish-Ghanaian winger, who remained loyal to his boyhood club last summer despite strong interest from Barcelona, is now firmly on Los Blancos’ radar.
Williams’ current contract includes a release clause in the region of €55 million to €60 million, a price well within reach for Madrid. Sources say the club is keen to trigger the clause to secure the 21-year-old’s services.
His potential arrival at the Bernabeu may open the door for the departure of Brazilian winger Rodrygo, who has attracted interest from Premier League sides.
Barcelona, previously front-runners for Williams, have now stepped away from negotiations. Club president Mr Joan Laporta confirmed that the Catalan giants have “moved on” from pursuing the winger.
Real Madrid’s push for Williams highlights their continued search for young talent to strengthen their wide attacking options.
With Barcelona officially out, the path looks clearer than ever for Williams to wear white next season.
