“I urged him to come to Chelsea, but he refuses. Maybe he doesn’t want to win big trophies.” Chelsea defenders respond after appealing to Chelsea’s target to join West London before it’s too late.
“I urged him to join Chelsea, but he refuses. Maybe he doesn’t want to win big trophies.” Chelsea defenders have expressed their reactions after trying to convince their target to move to West London before it’s too late.
A Blues defender has reached out to his national teammate after Chelsea showed interest in signing him this summer.
Marc Cucurella, an avid admirer of Nico Williams, has encouraged him to join the Blues in West London.
“He is a great player, showcasing all his potential,” the former Brighton star told Spanish publication Sport. “It’s a source of pride that he is on our team, that he is our teammate. With players like him, everything becomes easier.”
Nico Williams has been closely observed in almost all the games he has played for his national team and has proven to be a key figure in scoring goals.
Williams has been one of Spain’s standout players at Euro 2024 this summer, scoring and assisting in their 4-1 victory over Georgia in the last-16 on Sunday. This follows an impressive season with Athletic Bilbao.
The 21-year-old scored eight goals and provided 11 assists in all competitions for Bilbao last season and has attracted interest from several teams. Cucurella is now trying to persuade the player to choose Chelsea amid competition from Barcelona, having seen him excel in Germany.
Nico Williams could be a significant asset for the Blues if he chooses to join them despite Barcelona’s interest.
Marc Cucurella concluded his interview by saying, “He would be a great signing for Barcelona, but it all depends on what he wants. I’ve been telling him to sign for Chelsea. In the end, everything depends on him. He is very young and has a lot of experience. I think he will be a great player.”
However, it’s not just Cucurella who is keen to have Williams on their team this summer. A tug-of-war has started after Barcelona midfielder Pedri fueled speculation linking him with the Catalan giants.
“Nico Williams would be a spectacular signing for us at Barcelona; it’d be incredible,” Pedri told Mundo Deportivo. “He’s a player who is already showing what he’s capable of. I hope he can join us!”
