Barcelona may not pursue moves for Erling Haaland or Kylian Mbappe if it put the club "at risk" claims president Joan Laporta.
The Nou Camp chief returned for a second term last year and has set about rebuilding a club that had lost their way on the pitch and face huge debts off it. Xavi has been hired and looks to be getting a tune out of the current crop following some shrewd January recruitment.
But several huge names will be available in the summer transfer market and, over the years, Barcelona would firmly be in the race. Mbappe's PSG contract is due to expire and Real Madrid are favourites to land the World Cup winner for nothing. Haaland meanwhile will be available for less than £70m and has suitors from around Europe.
