Lukaku is €325k a week and then he has to hit performance marks to get up to €450k a week. I think performance bonus contracts are the way to go with athletes. 

i thought he get basic salary €12m/year or €230k/week from Romano's tweet. even after performance bonus,,no way he get over 300k/week....

Supposedly Romano's report was for Lukaku's net wage (12m€/y) so the gross salary before taxes would be somewhere above 300K/wk. But reports on wages are most of the times unreliable because we don't know how much of it is tied to performance bonuses (both personal and team success) and some reports are net, some are gross etc.

Either way I wouldn't be surprised if Lukaku was the club's top earner now, because he signed the contract at his prime age (28) and moved for a club record fee so if he got an average wage then him and his agent have done a bad job. If I had to guess his basic wage should be around £300K/wk (similar to Kante's wage) and possibly some bonuses taking it higher if he's a big success. That kind of salary doesn't totally break the club's wage hierarchy and if he bangs in 35 goals a season and gets some 100K/wk more with bonuses added up I doubt anyone really cares because it would most likely mean the team have had big success on the pitch as well.

Reports from Turkey saying Batshuayi to Besiktas will be a loan, and he will extend his contract at Chelsea by a year first.

He only has a year left so an extension would mean he still has a year remaining once the loan at Besiktas is over. Besiktas are paying their top players around £60-80K/wk and Michy would definitely represent a 'marquee signing' for a club of their stature so they would most likely pay him around the same, and the loan fee would cover the rest. Palace, Dortmund, Valencia have all paid loan fees varying from 1,5-3m€ for Michy before so getting around the same for this loan shouldn't be too much of a problem. 

His amortisation value is already close to zero after 5 years on the books so with a loan fee and Besiktas paying a part of his wages it should be just enough to cover for his full salary so the club 'break even' with Michy for the 21/22 season.

At the moment, aside from the very few top clubs, there isn't really any money in the transfer market to be spent. By doing the good old 'extension + loan' trick the club are banking on the transfer market recovering from covid enough so there's someone willing to buy him next year for around 10m€.

come on, we still need a midfielder. judging by the lack of rumors, i guess we are not after one at all.

[Pizy 18,495]

I think our incoming business is likely done. Any highly ranked midfielder is surely impossible this late in the window and it seems like we can’t offload Zouma so Koundé doesn’t seem likely anymore.

Bet the club will wait until the market is more favorable next summer to reinforce the last couple of positions of need.

I still think we will get a DM.

So assuming there aren't any late hitches, it appears that Tammy is off to Roma, Batshuayi to Besiktas, Miazga to Alaves, Kenedy to Flamengo and Ugbo to Genk.

If these go through, how many players do we have left to "sort out"?

Perhaps a question for @Vesper...

when Bats and Tammy are officially off, I will update my master list

He's on £90K/wk according to reports.

I don't really see much of a problem with the extension+loan. Having already spent five years under contract at the club and having extended his deal last year and again now, his amortisation value is down to less than 2m€ for the current financial year. Getting Besiktas to pay the full wage, or at least around £70K/wk portion of his full wage, shouldn't be an issue because he's a high profile signing for them and his salary is pretty well in line with their other top earners. That means Batshuayi will have a minimal 'total cost' for the club's 2021/22 books.

If he does well during his loan, and more importantly the transfer market recovers from covid now that the stadiums are getting full again, it should be much easier to sell him for around £10M next year than it is now after his failed loan at Palace and the transfer market still in recession from the pandemic.

I've seen people lose their shit over the extension but I definitely see why they've done it. Some fans get too emotional and just want the club to get rid of the deadwood by any means necessary, but by doing this Marina can easily end up making the club at least £5-10M in 'profit' as compared to just letting him run down his contract and leave on a free (that's assuming a permanent sale is off the table this year, because if there was an offer he'd be gone already).

The only real risk in this is that he does a 'Baba Rahman' and manages to get a nasty injury while on loan and then comes back to Cobham to recover from the injury till the end of his contract, meaning the club don't get any money and he still gets paid for the extra year.
