A much more conservative summer plan:

Outs -
Origi Â£12m
Shaqiri Â£10m
Gini free
Wilson Â£9m
Tsimikas Â£6m
Grujic Â£15m

And if we decide to sell whilst still value as Ed002 has stated

Firmino Â£40m

So close to Â£100m

In

Bissouma Â£35m
Vlahovic Â£30m

Elliott and Jones to play a more crucial role, canâ€™t even think of any more realistic options at the moment.

7m for keita and thatâ€™s us paying for someone to take him!

Just out of curiosity, which club would be willing to buy Firmino for 40m in this scenario? I can't see any club wanting to pay that amount for him, and I am not sure any clubs are interested in him at all.

Agree with you BigVirg but also sounds like Konate is almost done.
Keita and Matip out if we can find a buyers as well.

I'm going to be really interested to see where transfer fees fall this summer window - not sure yet whether they will dive as much as folks think, but let's wait and see.

Don't forget we also have (for example) Keita (Â£20-Â£30m), Ox (Â£15m-Â£20m? ), Woodburn (.

I just canâ€™t see a buyer for Ox or Keita this year, hence why not included in the outs. Reckon we will have to stick by them another year. Forgot about Konate! Hope to get Â£5-6m for Matip as well - canâ€™t see a large fee with his history.

I could see PSG, Bayern or Dortmund interested in Firmino at that price if they had the funds for sure.

OP, that's 7 players out for 2 to be bought in. So who are the replacements for the 7 (who are mostly backups, aside from Firmino)? Elliott will be a backup. Jones may or may not become a full time player, this coming year. This is not smart squad management. The idea is to build as cohesive a squad of 25 as possible. Not show up at stadiums with squads of 17 or 18.

Wilson and grujic are out on loan and Tsimikas barely makes the match day squad. We donâ€™t need to replace players who arenâ€™t in the 18, we have a massive squad as it is really, especially with youngsters coming through and back from loan.

{Ed0666's Note - we really do have a crazy big squad. Weâ€™d do well just to get rid of some of the players and get the wages off the books
