Athletic Bilbao star Nico Williams responded to a fan’s request for him to move to Real Madrid, by calling him a “bastard”.
Williams was linked with joining Barcelona over the past summer, before deciding to stay for at least a year with Bilbao.
Williams’ name has appeared in Real Madrid’s corridors in recent weeks after news of Vinicius Junior’s possible departure to the Saudi League.
During Williams’ participation in the Spanish national team’s open training and his signing of fans’ shirts, a fan told him, “See you in Madrid next year”.
Williams responded in a way that was not offensive, but it shows that he does not want any pressure or speculation, by saying, “Don’t mess with me, you bastard”.
It is worth noting that Barcelona will return again to try to sign the 21-year-old next summer, and the cost of signing the Basque will be only 60 million euros.
