While José Mourinho’s Fenerbahçe faces Athletic Bilbao in the Europa League this Wednesday, the Portuguese coach made unexpected statements about two rising stars of Spanish football, Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams.

Asked about Spain’s talent, Mourinho said: “Nico Williams is unique. People talk a lot about Lamine Yamal, but I’m more Nico Williams. I hope he ends up at Real Madrid, because in Spain, I’m white (Real fan). » These comments came as a surprise, because the two young players are shining with the Spanish national team and caused a sensation during the last Euro.

Currently under contract with Athletic Bilbao until 2027, Nico Williams is attracting interest from bigger clubs, including FC Barcelona. However, Mourinho hopes to see the 22-year-old winger join the ranks of Real Madrid, a club to which he remains attached after his stint as coach.
