New Barcelona president Sandro Rosell is adamant the club will not pay over the odds for Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas.
The Spanish champions are trying to bring Fabregas back to Camp Nou and have already seen one offer rejected by the Gunners.
Arsenal remain determined to hang on to their skipper and Fabregas has now suggested he could stay at Emirates Stadium after previously expressing a wish to rejoin his first club.
Barca are not giving up their pursuit of the 23-year-old but Rosell, who has succeeded Joan Laporta as president, will not break the bank to sign the Spain international.
Won't lose our heads"We won't pay an unjustified sum," said Rosell. "We won't lose our heads over this business."
The club's vice-president Josep Maria Bartomeu has also reiterated Barca's desire to bring in a player who is currently preparing for Spain's World Cup quarter-final against Paraguay on Saturday.
Bartomeu said: "Our objective is for him to become a Barcelona player this summer."
Meanwhile, Barcelona have appointed former goalkeeper Andoni Zubizarreta as their new sporting director to replace Txiki Begiristain, who stepped down earlier this week.
Zubizarreta made over 300 appearances for Barca between 1986 and 1994 and also played 126 times for Spain in an illustrious career.
There are also roles for Narcis Julia, Albert Puig and former player Guillermo Amor, who will all work alongside Zubizarreta and the new board to strengthen the playing squad.
