How Tottenham could earn £150m from player sales this summer
Tottenham Hotspur are set for a crucial summer transfer window, and while new signings will be a major talking point, the club could also rake in a hefty sum from outgoing players. Spurs could pocket up to £150m from the sale of seven players.
Tottenham fans can expect plenty of movement at Hotspur Way this summer. There will be arrivals, with Kevin Danso set to join permanently due to an obligation to buy, while Mathys Tel could also make the switch if Spurs trigger their option to buy.
The Lilywhites have also been linked with several players, including Southampton youngster Tyler Dibling, while reports suggest Tottenham are keen on securing a marquee midfield signing.
However, departures will also be a key theme in this window, we believe that as many as ten Spurs players are potentially heading for the exit this summer. Here, we break down how much Tottenham could make from their sales.
Tottenham’s potential departures and valuation
Cristian Romero could command a hefty fee
Cristian Romero is likely to be Tottenham’s most high-profile departure this summer, with the Argentine defender reportedly seeking Champions League football.
Atletico Madrid have already made contact with Romero’s representatives, while Spurs have given Romero an ultimatum: sign a new contract or leave.
Despite reports claiming Romero’s valuation has dropped to £33m, Daniel Levy is unlikely to settle for anything less than top dollar. If a sale happens, we expect Tottenham to demand around £60m for Romero.
Expected departure price: £60m
Richarlison could be on the move
Richarlison remains a quality forward, but his persistent injury problems have frustrated Spurs fans. The Brazilian has missed 37 games this season alone, the worst injury record of his Tottenham career.
Naturally, speculation about his future has intensified, with Everton reportedly considering a reunion with Richarlison.
If he returns to Merseyside, Spurs might receive around £30m, but if a Saudi Arabian club comes calling, that figure could rise to £45m-£60m.
Expected departure price: £30m
Bryan Gil attracting interest from Girona
Bryan Gil, currently on loan at Girona, has impressed his new club’s hierarchy, who are keen to make his move permanent. The loan deal includes a £12.5m buy clause, which Spurs will likely take advantage of to cash in on the Spanish winger. But given his recent long-term injury, Tottenham’s asking price for Bryan Gil could reduce.
Expected departure price: £10m
Manor Solomon catching Leeds’ eye
Manor Solomon has had a solid loan spell at Leeds United in the Championship, earning praise from both fans and manager Daniel Farke.
With Leeds potentially returning to the Premier League, there is a strong chance Leeds will look to secure Solomon permanently from Spurs. Tottenham could fetch between £15m and £20m for his sale.
Expected departure price: £15m
Yves Bissouma facing the exit door
After an underwhelming season, Yves Bissouma’s future at Tottenham is in doubt. Spurs recently held crunch talks with the Bissouma, and reports now suggest Tottenham are now open to selling Bissouma. Having signed him for £30m, the club will be looking to recoup at least half that amount.
Expected departure price: £15m
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg’s move to Marseille
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is currently on loan at Marseille and has put in some strong performances. A comparison of Hojberg’s stats with Bissouma’s suggests Spurs may have offloaded the wrong midfielder.
However, Marseille have an obligation to buy, meaning Tottenham will kick off their summer transfer business with a guaranteed £17m in the bank.
Expected departure price: £17m
Alejo Veliz set for a permanent exit
It simply hasn’t worked out for Alejo Veliz at Spurs. The young forward is on loan at Espanyol, and with Tottenham willing to part ways, a £5m sale plus a sell-on clause could be smart business.
Expected departure price: £5m
