Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman is frustrated seeing their European rivals spending big.
Koeman has said it is frustrating the club are unable to compete with Manchester United, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain in the transfer market.
Manchester United are set to follow up the signings of Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane by bringing Cristiano Ronaldo back to the club from Juventus.
Koeman said: "On the one hand I understand it.
"For everyone that wants the best for the club, it's frustrating, I understand it. On the other hand, we have to be realistic. Economically, the club can't compete with other clubs, with Paris, City, United. That's how it is at the moment.
"We can't demand what has been demanded before at this club. We have to understand the moment the club is in."
