In order to get to the next level but at the same time satisfy financial fair play, we may need to sell players in the summer if we are to spend big on a few quality additions.
Which players do you move on for money without weakening the squad?
Signing players like Ruben dias won't come cheap and so far we are only guaranteed 15 million for Costa when he moves to Leeds. Cav is currently struggling after a good start so it is unlikely fulham will shell out 12 million for him. Not making the cav transfer an obligation to buy at the end of the season was a mistake as his value will drop and he will be surplus to requirements. In the summer cav had other suitors and we need the money for quality additions. We are a business not a charity so the loan fee better be good.
In my opinion we should make three quality additions and sell:
Morgan Gibbs white 5 million
Ryan Bennett 2 million
Cav 9 million
Bonatini 1 million
Rafa mir 500,000
Niall Ellis 250k
Bright 200k
20 million isn't a lot but would go some way towards big quality purchases. I would keep saiss as he is the most valuable squad player in terms of filling in defence or midfield.
Would any of you take 50 million for a 29 year old Raul and replace him with Cutrone?
