Nico Williams is one of the star players for La Liga side Athletic Club.

Williams played a crucial role in Spain’s Euro success last year, and at 22, has already formed a huge reputation.

The young forward was linked with a transfer to Barcelona last summer, but the deal fell through.

Journalist Talha Ahmad has claimed that Nico Williams is a fan of Real Madrid, as revealed by Barcelona president Joan Laporta.

“I asked Joan Laporta about the failed deal for Nico Williams to Barcelona. The president told me Nico supports Real Madrid,” Ahmad says.

Nico Williams rejected Barcelona, and now, Real Madrid are reportedly pushing to sign him to boost their attack ahead of next season.

Nico Williams is believed to be interested in a move to Real Madrid.
