During an autograph session, a fan asked Nico Williams to join Real Madrid. The player humorously responded, "No kidding, bastard."

Nico Williams, the 22-year-old Spanish international, had stellar performances at the Euro in Germany, where his team reached the final stages. Both Real Madrid and Barcelona are interested in signing him. However, Williams has shown a clear preference for Barcelona. During preparations with the national team for the Nations League, a Real Madrid fan asked him if he would join Real next season, to which he jokingly responded that there was no way he would. The video clip went viral on X.

Nico Williams made a sensational impact at the Euro, where he was one of the key contributors to Spain's triumph. From the first match against Croatia to the final against England, he consistently troubled opponents and delighted his teammates and fans. During the European Championship, he attracted the attention of football giants, with Real Madrid and especially Barcelona showing significant interest in him. Spanish media reported in recent weeks that Williams is keen on a move to Barcelona. During Spain's preparations for the upcoming Nations League matches, a fan asked Nico if he was joining Real Madrid next season, to which Williams, smiling, emphatically denied the possibility.

Nico Williams, a winger from Athletic Bilbao, is considered a potential replacement for Vinicius Junior if he leaves Real Madrid. Williams has performed exceptionally well for the Spanish national team, particularly in Euro 2024, where he played a key role.

Real Madrid has a ready replacement if Vinicius Junior decides to leave. The potential replacement is Nico Williams, a player from Athletic Bilbao who was linked with Barcelona this summer but remained at San Mames. If the transfer is realized and the Spaniard comes to Santiago Bernabeu, it would be a big victory for Real over their main rival, Barcelona.

Petón revealed that if Vinicius leaves Real Madrid this summer, the club already has his replacement. That player would be Nico Williams, the Athletic Club player. The Basque team player has already been on Real Madrid's radar on more than one occasion and now, with Vinicius and Saudi Arabia, he is back in the spotlight for the white team.

Jon Rahm mentioned that if a big club like Madrid comes with an option to win Champions League, Nico Williams might consider moving.

Williams has been linked with Real Madrid following his impressive performances for Spain in Euro 2024.
