Barcelona president Joan Laporta has said that his club will not be competing for the signatures of Erling Braut Haaland and Kylian Mbappe this summer.
Haaland will leave Borussia Dortmund in the upcoming market, with a £67m release clause in his contract due to become active, and Barcelona continue to be strongly linked with the Norway international.
Mbappe, meanwhile, is set to be available on a free transfer at the end of June, with the Frenchman's contract at Paris Saint-Germain due to expire.
Despite being linked with the duo amid the ongoing speculation surrounding their futures, Laporta has said that his club cannot afford to sign either player in the upcoming market.
"If I had to choose [between Haaland and Mbappe], I would choose whichever made it clear they wanted to come to Barca," Laporta told RAC1. "If they don't feel like it, it will be difficult.
"The economic conditions that I've been told these two deals would cost... we'd never accept to spend those figures. No way. I see both of them really far from Barca."
Real Madrid and Manchester City are seen as the favourites for Haaland's signature, while Los Blancos are also believed to be at the head of the queue for Mbappe.
