Manchester: Roberto Mancini has dismissed speculation of another Manchester City spending spree in January, claiming he will only bring players in if others at the club leave.
The Citizens are not short of cash but do need to consider UEFA's upcoming Financial Fair Play ruling and only have one space available in their 25-man Premier League squad.
Mancini told SkySports: "We should sell some of our players before we do anything, after that maybe we can do something but at the moment there is nothing."
The former Inter boss may look for short-term cover for Yaya and Kolo Toure, who are both set to travel to the Africa Cup of Nations with Ivory Coast, with Mancini confirming that the pair are likely to leave after their FA Cup derby against Manchester United.
"It is difficult but I think they will leave us after United," he said.
"We have talked with their manager three days ago and will talk again with the Ivory Coast president, we will try but it is difficult."
