Barcelona chief Ariedo Braida concedes a deal for Napoli striker Gonzalo Higuain is beyond their budget.

Indeed, Braida says only three clubs are in a position to meet the €94 million buyout clause in Higuain's deal.

"Higuain is a player not within reach of Italian clubs," said the former AC Milan manager, "and I do not think that there are Spanish clubs on him.

"It's an operation that only PSG, Manchester United and Arsenal can afford - or get close to."
