2024/25 Vitalii Mykolenko

[Blue peter]

He goes into the final year of his contract in June. We signed him £17 -£20 mill. For ease lets say 20 mill. His salary is about 50k a week - 3 mill odd a season.

So on the books at the moment he costs about 8 mill pound approx.

With new contract it will be somewhere between £4 - 5 million, as the last year of his contract will just be amortised across the new period presumably 5 years.

So a saving for the club of anywhere from £3-4 mill a year on his cost approx.

Plus protecting the value of any resale. I’m not sure I’d be too confidence of what we would get for him in the summer market in his current form and with only a year left.
