Sylvain Distin hopes Portsmouth splash the cash during this summer's market.
He said: "We need money. If we want to get back to winning things and being where we were last season we need money to buy players.
"We have to see if anyone wants to buy the club. We have one of the smallest squads in the league, so it is physically and mentally difficult.
"We have a lot of players out of contract and we need players. Who is going to go? We shall see."
