Real Madrid has already closed two signing sessions for this summer, and there are plans for at least two to arrive: a left back and midfielder. But there could now be a fifth player who arrives in the Santiago Bernabeu.
The arrival of Xabi Alonso is expected to bring a change from system to Real Madrid, with the chance that the 3-4-3 system that he used at Bayer Leverkusen will be assumed. And if this is the case, there can be a new winger to arrive – especially when Rodrygo starts leaving.
And according to Marca there is a top objective for this situation: Nico Williams. The Athletic Club -wing player has been spoken from Real Madrid in recent weeks and according to the report a summer movement is seriously considered.
Real Madrid appreciates the profile that Nico has, both on and outside the field. They see him as a young, explosive player, with great media impact and both sporting and commercial projection. And moreover there is also a feeling that he would be satisfactory from the claws of Barcelona.
But at this stage Barcelona do not consider Nico a summer movement – if they would sign a left wing player, their favorite option Luis Diaz is. It is rather Arsenal who are very enthusiastic about the athletic player, so if Real Madrid made their move, they would match the team that they hit this season from the Champions League.
Nico has a release clause of € 58 million in his athletic contract, and Real Madrid would be willing to activate this – they see it as a good price. But convincing the player is a different situation completely, although they would probably have their chances of people like Arsenal.
