Barcelona vice-president Josep Maria Bartomeu says the club won't make crazy bids in the transfer window for the likes of Robin van Persie and Gareth Bale.
The Catalans are expected to invest in their squad again this summer, with the La Liga title expected to evade them this term.
Both Van Persie and Bale have been linked with a move away from their respective north London clubs, but Barca says they won't pay over the odds for the pair.
"Those players are very good, but we always need common sense in any negotiations," said Bartomeu.
"We will not enter the madness market because it is impossible for Barcelona to pay 40 or 50million Euros (£33-42m) for any player.
"This is a decision of the club. We can't fight against every club. But we have an advantage in that players want to come and play for Barcelona."
Barcelona did splash out £23 million up front for Alexis Sanchez before completing a deal for Cesc Fabregas, reportedly in the region of £35 million.
The four-time European Cup winners stated before their summer spending spree that they were short of funds, so both Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur should brace for some summer interest.
Van Persie, Arsenal's captain, has scored 22 Premier League goals this term and has spearheaded the club's Champions League qualification attempts.
Bale meanwhile, who won the PFA Players' Player of the Year award last season, has been in scintillating form for a Spurs side who still hold ambitions of winning the Premier League title.
