Barcelona are facing serious challenges in their pursuit of Nico Williams, with reports suggesting the club must offload players before they can move for the Spanish-Ghanaian star.
The Athletic reports that the Catalan giants are struggling to meet the financial demands of signing the Athletic Club winger. Barcelona’s tight wage bill means they must clear out several names before they can register any new player under La Liga rules.
Key figures who could be sold include Ansu Fati, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Ronald Araujo, and possibly Raphinha. Without these exits, a move for Williams looks nearly impossible.
Last summer, Barcelona faced similar struggles registering Dani Olmo, and La Liga’s president has already warned that history could repeat itself this window.
Despite the complications, Williams is reportedly open to reducing his salary to make the deal work. Still, the road to the Camp Nou remains steep and uncertain, with departures the only real option if Barcelona want to bring the 22-year-old to their squad this summer.
