Barcelona will need to offload several players if they hope to register new signing Joan Garcia from Espanyol and their top target, Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams.
The La Liga champions completed the signing of Garcia and are also close to signing Spanish winger Nico Williams.
However, Barcelona may face some difficulties registering new signings and will need to see some players depart from the team.

Barcelona face registering problem
As it stands, as reported by Sportal, the Spanish giants face a problematic departure of players that includes first-choice goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
While his future at the club seems uncertain, his contract runs until 2028 and carries a hefty salary, making a move unlikely.

Ultimately, the decision may rest with manager Hansi Flick, whose reportedly strained relationship with Ter Stegen is fuelling the exit rumours. Backup goalkeeper Inaki Pena is also expected to leave, facing stiff competition for the starting spot.
Barcelona have also decided to part ways with Andreas Christensen. The club believes they have a surplus of central defenders.
Despite a subpar season, Ronald Araujo is favoured over the Dane, a preference confirmed by sporting director Deco.
With Inigo Martinez, Pau Cubarsi, and Eric Garcia unlikely to be sold, Christensen seems the most likely to depart.

However, Araujo's exit isn't entirely off the table, as some within the club remain unconvinced by the Uruguayan after his inconsistent performances.
Barcelona have long sought to move on from Ansu Fati, who has seen limited playing time and is reportedly in talks with Monaco. Pablo Torre, Pau Victor, and Oriol Romeu are also not in Flick's plans and the club will be looking for suitable destinations for them.
Until these players are offloaded, securing Nico Williams' signature remains a significant challenge. Bayern Munich are reportedly monitoring the situation, hoping to capitalize on Barcelona's difficulties.
If all the aforementioned players depart, registering new signings should be possible. However, it remains unclear whether this will fully resolve the club's financial issues, potentially necessitating the sale of players Barcelona would prefer to keep.
