So with Higuain already bought and from what it looks, that Brazilian guy that looks like a tranny also likely to come for some 20m euro, we bought players for 177.5 million euro (Higuain 90, Pjanic 32, Pjaca 23, Batitranny 20, Lemina 9.5 and Benatia 3).
So far we sold Morata for 30 and a bunch of irrelevants for 7.1, which takes us to 37.1.
We're in minus of 140.4 million euro.
With Higuain and Batitranny we have a squad of 27 players. The squad must have 25 players, 4 of which must be homegrown. We have two home grown right now. This means that in order to satisfy the rules we must sell 4 players from the current 27 men squad.
In the most optimistic version, these 4 players are Neto (8-10 mil euro) Zaza (20-25 mil euro), Pereyra (15-20 million euro) and one more midfielder (Hernanes for 5-6, Sturaro for 10-15 or Asamoah for 10-15). The highest amount we can get for these 4 players would be ~65-70 million euro.
To sum up, we're still in minus of 70-80 million euro.
Perhaps we can do this. We are after all a club that buys for more than what it sells for. Last year we bought for some 57 million more than what we sold for.
But it's much more likely that we'll sell Pogba
