'Financially, we can't compete with other big clubs': Koeman speaks on Barca Transfer window

"Busy summer for other clubs, but not for us? Well, everyone wants the best for their club and I can understand that it's frustrating because we currently cannot compete financially with various clubs. We have to be realistic with the situation of the club," Ronald Koeman has told the media.

"Lots of expensive signings made by other clubs? These are crazy numbers in the current situation in the world. Some clubs have more problems than others but for me it's crazy," the Dutchman added.

Barcelona's most expensive signing this summer was the purchase of Emerson for €8m as the remaining 3 players arrived as free agents.

Meanwhile, clubs like Manchester City, Manchester United and Real Madrid are set to spend hundreds of millions of euros on their summer signings.
