Leicester City have faced a "difficult" transfer market this summer, manager Brendan Rodgers says.
Rodgers said the club have to manage their finances carefully.
"What has changed is my knowledge from a financial perspective," said the manager.
French centre-back Wesley Fofana, 21, is also a reported target for Chelsea and Paris St-Germain.
Although he is "not a player we want to lose", Rodgers added: "I became aware towards the end of the season that the club would have to balance its books, then of course that becomes very difficult.
"This club will not look to spend money they don't have and that is where the club is stable and they will always be very sensible.
