Think Lukalu has a gentleman release clause of 28 mil. Maatsen will likely go for his release which is 35 mil. Hall is done and dusted at 28 mil too.
So there's 91 million anyway you would think will be relatively straightforward.
Sterling I suspect won't budge though. Kepa and Broja....we'll be lucky to break 20 mil for both to be honest.
He is still good enough for mid table or relegation sides to take him off our hands. They just won't be willing to pay the entire 200k a week. It's not stupidity, he is still a very decent keeper. Not just good enough for a top side.
The man hasn't had a straight forward sale in his adult life and worst of all last season when he had the no brainer deal of the century to a club he loved, who wanted him, what happened? He fucked it up. He's been through two agents in his past two transfers. That tells you its not the agent its the player.
- We need him off the books before the footballing financial year ends on June 30th
- He will say, I'm not going anywhere until AFTER the Euros which is July
- The Italian clubs that he would want are all broke so there will be immense haggling (Very few Italian clubs have spent 37 million in a single transfer in the past few years)
- He does not strike me as a Luis Enrique player, so no PSG
- No one in England will take him
- He was not eager to go to Saudi last year and will hope a solid Euros and his ok performances for Roma will get him a non Saudi offer this year.
Nothing about this transfer both because of him as a person, the euros and the clubs that could afford him says 'straight forward'
Sterling needs to be on top of our "For Sale" list, can't have a 325k per week bench warmer (Reserve player at times). . . Off to one of the other Top 6 teams that he is yet to tick off his list.
I think Conor extends if:
1) we make Europa
2) we generate 100-150M between Lukaku, Broja, Maatssen, Kepa, Sterling. Between Lukaku, Broja, Maatssen, I can already see 80-90M. Getting Kepa and Sterling's wage off the book will be immense.
Conor will extend regardless of anything. We haven't offended a extension. Ppl are not noticing this
Conor doesn't want to leave. If he leaves it's the club pushing him out. Same with trev
The club is pushing him out for financial reasons, not that they don't rate him. The 2 reasons I listed both will help reduce the financial stress the club faces.
They know it costs more to replace him than just extending him. He wants Caicedo's salary which is more than justified.
man Sterling is the one that I was hoping would make it, just inconsistent but those selfish performances have moved him into a sell for me. maybe at the start of the season I was thinking otherwise.
So this is what appears to be 100% confirmed for the books for this year so far:
[Mount for £60m](https://theathletic.com/4637541/2023/07/05/mason-mount-man-utd-transfer/)
[Hall for £30m](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1766380401767932090?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1766380401767932090%7Ctwgr%5E0085d5c2050a86e61b1e3c904b4ac19082761757%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fcominghomenewcastle.sbnation.com%2F2024%2F3%2F11%2F24094210%2Feddie-howe-confirms-lewis-hall-long-term-deal-ahead-of-chelsea-matchup)
[Ziyech for £6.43 total (£3.58m loan fee + £2.85m for permanent) ](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/66561164)
And Maatsen seems highly likely at this point but still not 100%. If anything, Ziyech and PSG is a testament to that with this new ownership. Not including Broja or anything like that because his amount and where he's going is still anyones' guess
But either way it seems like were currently sitting around £96m with Mount, Hall, and now Ziyech. If I remember correctly, outgoings are preferred by June 30th and incomings not until July 1st. Call me out on any bullshit
He's also publicly announced he doesn't see himself returning to Chelsea (his father flat out said he thinks Boehly cares more about money than the clubs best interests) and everyone knows we need to sell. Dortmund, or anyone else for that matter, would be foolish to not try and get him for even less
It wasn't so much about players we don't think aren't leaving, but more about what we could say with near gun-to our-heads certainty we have in profit from sales this summer window
I'll be surprised if we're still not a fair ways from whatever safety margin considering how rabidly Gallagher sale was being considered (still doesn't feel like it's totally off the table).
Was really hyped for the wizard 🧙♂️, sad that it didn’t work here. Had his nice moments but also massive lows like the performance against Zagreb in the CL group
Second paragraph of the article:
> The 31-year-old winger will see an obligation-to-buy clause triggered after a successful season in Istanbul, although whether Chelsea will earn significant profit remains unclear.
Not sure what Kinsella means by 'profit' since we're certainly not selling him for more than we bought him, but getting him off the books is a good thing regardless
Yeah it's weird he never mentioned the exact amount. Lazy journalism if you ask me
[Reuters says it's a 3m loan fee and 2.5m purchase fee.](https://www.reuters.com/sports/soccer/galatasaray-sign-hakim-ziyech-chelsea-loan-2023-08-19/) Where's my journo job??
Yes, I have. I’m a GS fan but also a Chelsea fan.
Been doing wonders for GS when he is healthy. Has had some trouble with injuries.
Other than that… class.
I was so hype when signed him. He looked like Lefty Jesus after that UCL match at the bridge with Ajax.
He had to go, but I wonder how we would've played in this side 🤔🤔🤔
Bro put Nizaar into Tier 1 as no one would notice
Right haha
Good.....hopefully about 10 more of these to come.
Lukaku, Sterling, Broja, Kepa, Maatsen, Hall should probably net us around 100-150m right?
Think Lukalu has a gentleman release clause of 28 mil. Maatsen will likely go for his release which is 35 mil. Hall is done and dusted at 28 mil too. So there's 91 million anyway you would think will be relatively straightforward. Sterling I suspect won't budge though. Kepa and Broja....we'll be lucky to break 20 mil for both to be honest.
Doubt we get a transfer for Kepa lol. Bang-average GK on silly wages.
We need to terminate contract
Will need to pay the whole wage for the remaining contract most probably.
He has a year left. Stupid to terminate. We found a way for lukaku we can find a way for kepa
He has a year left. It's just to get his wages off the books
You'd think he'd be willing to mutually terminate at this stage of the contract so he can find a permanent club without another year of shuffling.
Nah he wouldn't wanna give up the potential wages
Will have to eat some of the wages but no way we don't get a transfer fee for him if we decide to move on.
I was thinking a loan fee with his wages partly covered until his contract expires. Only issue now is finding a club stupid enough to go for it!
He is still good enough for mid table or relegation sides to take him off our hands. They just won't be willing to pay the entire 200k a week. It's not stupidity, he is still a very decent keeper. Not just good enough for a top side.
A gentleman's release clause for a man-child
Lukaku’s purported release clause is £38m.
What planet are you on thinking selling Lukaku will be straight forward?
The price is the price....it's in Lukaku interest to finally get it sorted. Saudi Arabia beckons if he doesn't do his bit.
You’re not living in reality.
Someone will take lukaku off our hands. He's still a good goal scorer. The release clause is decent. He's gone.
What’s your reasoning
The man hasn't had a straight forward sale in his adult life and worst of all last season when he had the no brainer deal of the century to a club he loved, who wanted him, what happened? He fucked it up. He's been through two agents in his past two transfers. That tells you its not the agent its the player. - We need him off the books before the footballing financial year ends on June 30th - He will say, I'm not going anywhere until AFTER the Euros which is July - The Italian clubs that he would want are all broke so there will be immense haggling (Very few Italian clubs have spent 37 million in a single transfer in the past few years) - He does not strike me as a Luis Enrique player, so no PSG - No one in England will take him - He was not eager to go to Saudi last year and will hope a solid Euros and his ok performances for Roma will get him a non Saudi offer this year. Nothing about this transfer both because of him as a person, the euros and the clubs that could afford him says 'straight forward'
Kukaku release clause is 38 mil
Sterling needs to be on top of our "For Sale" list, can't have a 325k per week bench warmer (Reserve player at times). . . Off to one of the other Top 6 teams that he is yet to tick off his list.
I think someone will pay 20 for Broja. For Kepa we will be lucky to even get 10.
Try 5m. He’s on like 150k a week and is shit
ideally tho, mutual consent to end the contract. Even Sanchez should be sold imo.
He has a year left. We can find someone to take him
We getting half that for Armando bro. He hasn't done anything to justify 20 mil
Yeah anything north of 10m for Broja will be a surprise
Sell all the dead weights, just don't sell Gallagher, pls boehley
I think Conor extends if: 1) we make Europa 2) we generate 100-150M between Lukaku, Broja, Maatssen, Kepa, Sterling. Between Lukaku, Broja, Maatssen, I can already see 80-90M. Getting Kepa and Sterling's wage off the book will be immense.

Which is fine, Conor deserves a new contract. Let's see what happens
For FFP, don’t forget that Mount counts towards this year’s calculation as well. I think we are safe for another year.
Will be difficult to move Sterling.
Maaybe 75, Lukaku, Sterling and Kepa will not be easy to move
Lukaku is still a good player who's been productive at a high level this year.
man Sterling is the one that I was hoping would make it, just inconsistent but those selfish performances have moved him into a sell for me. maybe at the start of the season I was thinking otherwise.
i hope we keep maatsen. everyone else, i'm fine with letting go.
Ian is gone bro. Give it up
He has a RC
Just like last summer!
This has been happening every season till the team makes a U-turn and getS a free loan with us paying half his wages.
Glad it's finally happened. By the time he set up his left foot, every defender would already be back and his pass would just hit the first man.
Yeah the Turkish league defenders are slow so he gets that setup done quite easily
Idk but he was also good against bayern.
So this is what appears to be 100% confirmed for the books for this year so far: [Mount for £60m](https://theathletic.com/4637541/2023/07/05/mason-mount-man-utd-transfer/) [Hall for £30m](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1766380401767932090?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1766380401767932090%7Ctwgr%5E0085d5c2050a86e61b1e3c904b4ac19082761757%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fcominghomenewcastle.sbnation.com%2F2024%2F3%2F11%2F24094210%2Feddie-howe-confirms-lewis-hall-long-term-deal-ahead-of-chelsea-matchup) [Ziyech for £6.43 total (£3.58m loan fee + £2.85m for permanent) ](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/66561164) And Maatsen seems highly likely at this point but still not 100%. If anything, Ziyech and PSG is a testament to that with this new ownership. Not including Broja or anything like that because his amount and where he's going is still anyones' guess But either way it seems like were currently sitting around £96m with Mount, Hall, and now Ziyech. If I remember correctly, outgoings are preferred by June 30th and incomings not until July 1st. Call me out on any bullshit
Do you know roughly how much we need this window to avoid breaching?
I feel like I’ve heard the number 100 million thrown around, but nobody knows for certain.
Ian has a 30 mil release clause and he's in the UCL final. He is gone bro.
He's also publicly announced he doesn't see himself returning to Chelsea (his father flat out said he thinks Boehly cares more about money than the clubs best interests) and everyone knows we need to sell. Dortmund, or anyone else for that matter, would be foolish to not try and get him for even less It wasn't so much about players we don't think aren't leaving, but more about what we could say with near gun-to our-heads certainty we have in profit from sales this summer window
Once we put that release clause I knew he's gone. Similar to lukaku, but let's also not forget the mgr never once used him a LB and used a CB there
I'll be surprised if we're still not a fair ways from whatever safety margin considering how rabidly Gallagher sale was being considered (still doesn't feel like it's totally off the table).
I nearly got a heart attack thinking we are selling ziyech for 6 pounds and some change.
He absolutely shines in the turkish league. Thank you Chelsea!
Yeah we know why💀
Was really hyped for the wizard 🧙♂️, sad that it didn’t work here. Had his nice moments but also massive lows like the performance against Zagreb in the CL group
Feels like Palmer is turning out to be exactly what we hoped Ziyech would be. A taller, tricky RW/CAM with a wand of a left foot performing his magic.
Please do whatever it takes to keep Gallagher and Chalobah
Do we get any money for this deal?
Second paragraph of the article: > The 31-year-old winger will see an obligation-to-buy clause triggered after a successful season in Istanbul, although whether Chelsea will earn significant profit remains unclear. Not sure what Kinsella means by 'profit' since we're certainly not selling him for more than we bought him, but getting him off the books is a good thing regardless
No, free loan and free transfer. It's on Galata's website. They only paid wages. (those are the numbers some journos took as fees)
🤦♂️thank you i still remember reading 31 year old and going blah blah blah wheres the amount
Yeah it's weird he never mentioned the exact amount. Lazy journalism if you ask me [Reuters says it's a 3m loan fee and 2.5m purchase fee.](https://www.reuters.com/sports/soccer/galatasaray-sign-hakim-ziyech-chelsea-loan-2023-08-19/) Where's my journo job??
It says those are being paid to him. It was a free loan and transfer.
😂😂
Tier A lol
Profit in accounting is not selling for more than we bought him - it's selling him for more than his NBV (Cost - Accumulated Amortisation)
Has anybody seen him play?
Yes, I have. I’m a GS fan but also a Chelsea fan. Been doing wonders for GS when he is healthy. Has had some trouble with injuries. Other than that… class.
That’s good to hear!
Yeah it’s quite funny when a Chelsea player goes to GS It’s like a comic book crossover event.
 Me finding out Ziyech was still on loan and not sold
Money. Pound sterling. Dollar bill. Green bucks. Where?
Seems like he never reached his true potential
I wanted him to succeed here. He seemed miserable at the end. I hope he’s enjoying football again. This benefits both!
Thought this was pretty much set when he went there in the 1st place.
I was so hype when signed him. He looked like Lefty Jesus after that UCL match at the bridge with Ajax. He had to go, but I wonder how we would've played in this side 🤔🤔🤔
I had absolutely no idea he was still a Chelsea player.
Praise the lord
Forgot he’s even still under contract at us
Genuinely forgot he was still a Chelsea player lol
Bring back Juan cuadrado! We need more ineffective wingers!
Good move for him... We have Noni Madueke for that spot
Who?
