Barcelona sporting chief Mateu Alemany admits they cannot buy in January.

Barca have completed the signing of Daniel Alves as a free agent this week.

Alemany said, "Today we have been able to register Xavi and his coaching staff, we have nothing to spare.

"For January we will see what can be done, but today there is no possibility of signing in the winter market.

"It is true that there is still a month and a half until January 1 and we will see what margin we have, we are working on all the options."
