We're selling Sterling for £50m so essentially getting Firmino in as a swap deal + £11m (after QPR take their cut). So let's say we get Illarramendi too for about £20m that's £9m net spend and our team would be transformed!
Lets assume the £29m on Firmino is our effective net spend, and we are shpping out Mario only on loan.
Ings, Milner, Bogdan, Clyne, Kovacic/Illara, Bacca = £60m approx
Sterling, Borini, Aspas, Assaidi, Coates, Lambert = £60m approx
There you go!
If we manage to get Lucas Digne on loan, this would be an incredibly successful summer.
