Real Madrid s fourth signing: 58 million euros New Yamal, annual salary of 10.42 million euros, 22 years old, 1.81 meters

At 08:00 am on May 21, 2025, news came from the Spanish media that La Liga giants Real Madrid are seriously considering introducing Nico Williams, while Barcelona ranked Luis Diaz as the number one target.

According to foreign media Marca, Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams has become Real Madrid's key signing target. The deal could be completed quickly thanks to its €58 million termination clause. Previously, Arsenal was regarded as the biggest favorite to sign the 22-year-old star in the summer window, but Real Madrid's intervention may force Arsenal to speed up the action. Williams was close to joining Barcelona a year ago, but eventually chose to renew his contract with Bilbao for one year. With Rodrigo likely leaving the team, Real Madrid is now looking for a replacement, and Nico Williams is the replacement.

It is understood that Barcelona was originally one of Nico Williams' suitors, but now Barcelona's senior management has changed their minds, especially Laporta has publicly denied that it would introduce Nico Williams in the summer transfer window. Previously, Real Madrid had been worried about Barcelona's disruption, and now Barcelona publicly stated that it would give up, which also added Real Madrid's determination to introduce "New Yamal" Nico. Real Madrid has completed 3 signings, including Arnold, Nuclear Ethan and Carreras, and Nico Williams is expected to become Real Madrid's fourth pick.

According to multiple foreign media reports, Rodrigo has basically confirmed his departure, and his position will be replaced by Nico Williams. As we all know, Barcelona's award for super star Yamal has aroused the envy and jealousy of the world football world. Who is the next one in La Liga is also a topic that the outside world is very concerned about. Nico Williams has the label of "New Yamal". Nico Williams is 22 years old, 1.81 meters tall, plays as a striker, specializes in the left side, and now plays at Athletic Bilbao. He has 5 goals and 5 assists in 28 games in La Liga this season.

In fact, Nico Williams also participated in the 2024 European Cup and also won the 2024 European Cup championship with Spain. Although his net worth reached 70 million euros, the amount of the contract term is only 58 million euros. This means that Real Madrid only needs 58 million euros to win Nico Williams. However, his annual salary in Bi Bao is as high as 10.42 million euros, which also means that Real Madrid's salary will not be less than 10.42 million euros per year.

According to World Sports, Barcelona gave up Nico Williams and is now pursuing Liverpool striker Louis Dias, and is even willing to spend 75 million euros in transfer fees to win him. However, most Barcelona fans are not optimistic about this deal because everyone thinks 75 million euros are not worth it at all. Diaz is 28 years old and worth at most 30 million euros. Overall, the outside world is more optimistic about Real Madrid's signing of Nico Williams. Which one do you think is more practical?
