Asked about the club's transfer budget, Barcelona economic vice-president Joan Boix has said in an interview with Catalan radio station Ona FM that Barcelona is not planning to go beyond what had been scheduled:
"Txiki and Pep know about the situation, we'll keep our feet on the ground. Madrid will have problems a few years from here because they made more debt.
We had profits of 10-12-15 million over the last years and we'll use that money. If we count everything together we would have around 50 million, of which 10 to 15 million will be used for investments within the club and the rest will be used to pay our debts or to sign players. So we could spend 30-35 million euro° plus what we receive by selling players.
It would be very easy for us to spend more, but we don't want the next board to have financial problems, that's why we are looking at the long term. We need to be careful. It's a surprise that Madrid has paid those sums for these two players. Even more so in times of crisis. That's not good for anyone. In the market, there's a before and an after those transfers. We will stay calm and do what we had planned. We don't want to surpass our limits.
You always have the most transfers in the last month of August. We have a solid team at this moment. Without big investments, we could have a super-team. We have time and we don't need to hurry. I don't know if we will sign players on loan, you should ask the coaches, but I don't think it will happen."
