Does anybody know what our net transfer budget will need to be next season?

We are fortunate to have about 30m+ in players out on loan (Ramsdale, Diaz, Sugawara, ABK)
Hoping that could cover year 1 to 2 parachute loss and to sign Peretz and Larin (ideally).

Reading we have a lot of unpaid transfer fees and loans to our parent club. Anybody know how much we need to sell before can replace like for like?

According to transfermarket Leeds made net 115m GBP over 2 years in champ. We are at 75m now so 40m short of that or 50m to get Peretz and Larin in.

Jander or Charles 20m+
Ramsdale 18m
Sugawara 7m
Diaz. 5m
Bazunu and Larios (sales unlikely? )
ABK (already sold)

This would be actually be a good position, given the circumstances. But we may be in a different situation to Leeds and need more out.

It's very early days to try and speculate as to players coming in and leaving. Ramsdale will probably go on loan again, Bazunu will stay because no one will pay any sort of fee for him. Don't think Peretz will sign, think West Ham will sign him. Stewart will be kept on the one year extension in his contract. I expect Bree to go to one of the 3 promoted clubs out of contract. We will not offer any of the other 7 players out of contract new terms and I expect us to sell BBD Sugawara Downs Scienza THB Charles Jander for a combined £90 which will pay off outstanding transfer fees owed.

I expect a big physical striker hopefully Larin, right full back to compete with Roeslev, another unknown central midfielder from Germany, young centre half on loan with option to buy. I think it's a huge season for Edozie Bragg Obrien-Whitmarsh Dibaga Robinson Williams Sesay and Oyekunle. We need 3 of those to regularly feature and make big contributions to the team. That would ensure financial viability for seasons 27/28 and 28/29 if we do not gain promotion season 26/27.
We are walking a financial tightrope.

Thanks @2408

So looking at closer to 65-70m net transfer spend vs 50m then?

Hoping we can keep at least 1 of each:
Peretz and THB
Charles and Jander
Leo and Azaz
Stewart and Larin
Bree and Manning

Anything from loan players is a bonus

Big season ahead.

We won't have very much to spend looking at the clubs finances. We won't have the luxury of a big established squad so that is why it's imperative that some of the youngsters come through. Spygate has cost the club in lost revenue/ value, assuming we would have beaten Hull, £110 mill in tv money and being in the Premier League plus position finished bonus plus enhanced value of squad .

Probably £140-150 next season.
Crazy when you put the offence into context!
