Howe was questioned about whether they could afford a deal similar to the one they made for Alexander Isak from Real Sociedad, which cost around €70 million. However, he replied that he doesn't know if they will be able to make such a significant investment.

When discussing their willingness to spend big on a player, Howe mentioned that they have a history of making big signings if the funds are available. He pointed to their recent purchase of Alex Isak as an example, stating that they felt he was a valuable addition to the team despite the significant cost.

However, Howe also emphasized that they need to consider various factors before making a decision, including the team's needs and the player's potential impact. He couldn't provide a clear answer on their plans for the summer transfer window.

Regarding the possibility of selling fringe players to generate funds, Howe stated that they will always try to make the best decision for the club and the individual player.
