Barcelona president Joan Laporta insists that the club will not put it's finances at risk when it comes to signing players this summer.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has reiterated that the club will not put it's finances at risk when it comes to signing players this summer.

The response comes following links of both Erling Braut Haaland and Kylian Mbappe to the Camp Nou in recent days, despite the recent financial troubles of the Catalan side.

Speaking to Mundo Deportivo, Laporta said: "I will not talk about specific players but I can tell you that we will not do any deals that puts the club at risk.

"The members can be calm because we are not going to lose our heads over an operation of this magnitude.

"Most players want to come to Barcelona, they like the club, the team, our philosophy, our way of working, of interpreting football. And this is good, we are seeing this in many cases and on a daily basis.

"They will have to adapt to Barcelona's salary levels and to an economic structure of the deal that maintains the sustainability and balance of the club."

After being forced to take drastic action in order to balance the books upon his return to the club last summer, Laporta oversaw the arrivals of the likes of Ferran Torres and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the January transfer window.

Meanwhile, after hammering Real Madrid 4-0 in El Clasico on Sunday, Barca return to La Liga action at home to second-placed Sevilla on April 3, with 12 points separating them from Real at the top of the table.
