Barcelona are backing away from a potential move for Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans.
The Belgian has been on the radar of several top teams over the past 12 to 18 months.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Barca are excited by Tielemans' quality and potential, but they do not have the financial means to get a deal done.
Leicester want roughly €55 million for the 24-year-old, which is too rich for Barcelona to contemplate paying at present.
The club are likely to look at cut price deals and free transfers in the coming transfer windows as the new leadership continues to balance the books after reckless spending over the past few years.
