Barcelona faces two major roadblocks when trying to sign Athletic Bilbao star Nico Williams. The Spanish giants really want the winger at Camp Nou this summer. Williams wants to join Barcelona and would even take less money to make it happen. However, Mundo Deportivo says Barcelona has serious problems that could stop this move.
