All European teams are seeking to strengthen their ranks in the next Mercato to compete strongly for all championships and titles, as the winter transfer window is considered an opportunity for Europe’s top players to correct the course and strengthen the team’s elements.
At the top of these teams are certainly the Spanish poles, Real Madrid and Barcelona, the two most popular teams in the world, as each team seeks, despite the different circumstances, to quickly catch the best players in the world before the other party.
In light of this, Spanish press reports revealed a huge surprise about the Spanish club, Real Madrid, approaching signing a huge deal during the upcoming summer transfer period, to strengthen the Merengue attacking line in the current season.
The Royal attacking line was greatly affected this season, following the departure of French striker Karim Benzema to the Saudi club Ittihad Jeddah.
Press reports in Spain revealed a major struggle between Real Madrid and Barcelona, in addition to the English duo Liverpool and Manchester City, to sign Neco Williams, the striker of Athletic Bilbao and the Spanish national team.
The Spanish newspaper “AS” reported that the economic crisis that has struck Barcelona in recent years will hinder the plan to contract Neco Williams and the competition between Real Madrid and English clubs.
The Spanish newspaper added that Real Madrid officials are planning well to invest in the player, who is performing at great levels at the age of 21 years.
The player is a big dream for the team’s coach, Xavi Hernandez, who sees in the player different potentials from other players in the world at the same age, but it seems that the Catalan team’s economic crisis is preventing this deal from happening.
On the other hand, it is a big blow for Real Madrid to sign this player, and he will add strength to the right wing position at Real Madrid.
