Asked about the coming transfer summer, Barcelona marketing vice-president Jaume Ferrer has said in an interview with Catalan sports paper El Mundo Deportivo that the club can at least spend 30 million euro this summer:

"We can spend more or less the same amount as other years, around 30-35 million euro° plus the transfer fees we receive. Although in the end it will depend on what the team needs. If Pep asks us to sign a player, we'll do an effort and we'll bring him in.

Although we cannot say that the global crisis doesn't affect us, the effect is only minor. We're not considering to sell a player to balance the books. We can sell players but only if the coaches ask for it. If they say a player has to stay, we'll do everything possible for him to stay."
