Yeah it’s a factor, but Chelsea sell players to Spain and such and they manage to pay them.
If we take Veiga going to Villarreal in summer, permanent deal, there’s no way they matched his Chelsea salary. He wanted to play.
The way our recruitment has been we aren’t going after players who don’t want to play, so there’s a middle ground to be had.
We’ve broken managed to pay Xhaka, we’ve uplifted wages and it will continue as we progress. I think we all have faith the club knows where the line is.
We can’t afford at Enzo Fernandez salary but we can probably go close to the 2 mentioned, or pay them slightly less over a longer guaranteed contract.
