On Wednesday, Jose Mourinho will be reunited with the Spanish opposition as his Fenerbahce side prepare to take on Athletic Club in the Europa League. The former Real Madrid manager will be expecting a win in that match, and it promises to be a remarkable spectacle considering it is set in Istanbul.
24 hours before kick-off, Mourinho spoke to the media (via El Correo). During the press conference he spoke highly of Nico Williams, who is expected to start for Athletic against Fenerbahce.
“Nico is unique, he is great. During the European Championship there was a lot of talk about Lamine Yamal, of course also a great boy, but personally I prefer Nico. He's a fantastic player. You can't think that a Turkish club can sign the boy. I hope he ends up at Real Madrid.”
Williams has been heavily linked with Barcelona throughout 2024, so it would be a slam dunk if Real Madrid suddenly opted for him. However, this is unlikely to happen as they already have Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe on their books.
