Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says at current prices it is "impossible" to buy a new striker.
Guardiola is seeking a replacement for new Barcelona signing Sergio Aguero.
He said, "At the prices we are not going to buy any strikers, it is impossible, we cannot afford it. It is impossible.
"All clubs are struggling financially; we are not an exception. We have Gabriel [Jesus], Ferran [Torres] who has been incredible in this position, we have young players in the academy, we play many times with a false nine.
"I don't know what is going to happen. Maybe we are going to buy but maybe we are not going to buy a striker for next season. Today there is more chance we aren't going to buy a striker for next season."
