It’s not what we paid for them that matters.
It’s their current amortised value that count.
Stones 26yo. £50m paid 2016, on 5 year contract, has extended by 2 years.
Currently valued at £22.5m.
Amortised value at £13m, so any amount over £13m is a plus.
Gundogan. 30yo. £25m paid 2016, on 5 year contract, has extended by 2 years.
Currently valued at £36m.
Amortised value at £4m, so any amount over £4m is a plus.
Mahrez 29yo. £70m paid 2018, on 5 year contract.
Currently valued at £43.2m.
Amortised value at £42m, so any amount over £42m is a plus.
Mendy 26yo. £52m paid 2017 on 5 year contract.
Currently valued at £25m.
Amortised value at £22m, so any amount over £22m is a plus.
If you add the amortised value up £81m. So £100m would be good for the clubs books, plus get some big wages off the books.
