Tottenham might be about to add £137million to their financial fair play allowance with 12 players expected to be shown the exit door this summer.

Spurs started strongly in 2023-24 but plateaued towards the second half of the season and ultimately finished outside the top four for the fifth successive camp꧋aign.

Ange Postecoglou appears to believe thi🎶s warrants a complete rethink of his squad, according to the latest ꦡnews from North London.

The report that 11 players🍷 in total could be sold in addition to Ryan Sessegnon, whose contract e🅰xpires at the end of the month.

Tottenham set to claw back £137m over next FFP cycle

It is claimed that Spurs will listen to offers for Richarlison, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Giovani Lo Celso, Emerson Royal, Bryan Gil and 202♛3 signing Manor Solomon this summer.

Joe Rodon, Djed Spence,🌠 Sergio Reguilon, Tanguy Ndombele and Japhet Tanganga are also up for sale after spending 2023-24 out on loan.

Those 11 players, as well as the outgoing Sessegno🌄n, would free up £45.📖68m per year in wage for Spurs.

That’s just over £137m over the next ༺three years, the period over whi𝔉ch financial fair play (now called Profit and Sustainability Rules, or PSR) is assessed.

Tha🎃t is in addition to the fees Spurs recoup. Some of those players, such as a Richarlison, would likely fetch a healthy price too.

To calculate the total saving, TBR used player wages reported by reputable 🅺sources. Where a reputable source was not available, we used industry benchmarking to make a conservative estimate.

This is the breakdown of the player wages:

  • Ndombele, £10.4m
  • Richarlison, £6.9m
  • Reguilon, £6.24m
  • Hojbjerg, £5.2m
  • Lo Celso, £3.64m
  • Solomon, £2.5m
  • Gil, £2.2m
  • Royal, £2.1m
  • Spence, £2.1m
  • Sessegnon, £2.1m
  • Tanganga, £1.3m
  • Rodon, £1m

Analysis: Tottenham can spend big this summer – if they want to

Tottenham already have more room to manoeuvre than most Premier League clubs when it comes to FFP.

Uncharacteristical💯ly, Spurs were one of the biggest spenders in the January window while other clubs were tightening their beltloops.

On face value, Spurs’ combined deficit of £220.7m over the last thee year would see them fall well outside the Premier League’s £1🍷05m allowable losses threshold.

But Spurs’ have an annual depreciatio🦩n charge on their stadium of £72♈m, meaning they will easily comply with both the Premier League’s PSR and UEFA’s financial sustainability rules, which are slightly stricter.

Daniel Levy has banked on infrastructure projects like the stadi🦋um build to facilitate sustainab🔯le growth.

And, with bo꧅th the Premier League and UEFA introducing a new a squad cost control ratio that ties spending to revenue, it looks like that bet is now💞 well and truly paying off.
