The numbers involved are pretty monstruous.
Even if the only guys to leave were the ones who look highly likely to leave, that's a saving of £1.58m a week (40% of the current wage bill) or £82m across a season.
Or, looking at it another way, that salary reduction is just £60k (...one Jonny Evans) short of the entire squad budget at Newcastle Utd!
Casemiro - 350k
Varane - 340k
Martial - 250k
Sancho - 250k
Eriksen - 150k
Lindelof - 120k
Van De Beek - 120k
That's assuming that there are no "surprise" departures (e.g. Bruno, Rashford, Maguire, Shaw, Bantony, Mount, McTominay, Greenwood etc.)
It could well be the biggest single window squad overhaul (in £ terms) that the PL has ever seen.
