On likely departures this summer this is what I've come up with (optimistically):
OUT
MDS - 0
Arthur - 0 (loan)
Ramsey - 0
McKennie - 30
Morata - 0
Total - 30
Sadly the Demiral money (28M) will go right into paying for Kean (28M).
If all of the above players leave that means we will need: 1 CB, 2 CMs, 1 CF
Possible signings?
CB: some 5th choice rando or a youth with potential ~15
CM: Rovella + a more proven mid. If we are lucky enough to get rid of Rabiot, maybe Fagioli or Ranocchia will return ~40
CF: Vlahovic ~70
Total - 125
Can we do a mercato of -95 net spend? I doubt. Maybe we will go for a cheaper CF like Scamacca or not spend on a CM at all. Or perhaps promote a youth player or bring back Dragusin for CB.
Better hope we get some of that capital injection for signings or this summer is going to blow hard.

Reinforce midfield with Fagioli, Rovella and Kessie on a Bosman
Spend the transfer budget on Vlahovic and someone to replace Alex Sandro
