I think Nesta, Seedorf, Gattuso, Inzaghi, Zambrotta and Van Bommel were each making about € 3 mln on average. On top of that we have Yepes, probably 1-2 mln, Roma about 1 mln. Also consider Oddo; I'm not sure if we paid his wage or not. Same goes for Aquilani. I'll ignore these two.
So with these players alone we are saving close to € 40 mln (accounting for tax; 20*2).
As for expenses we have T.Silva's raise to € 6 mln from I think 3, so with tax that is € 6 mln. Then we have newcomers Montolivo, Traoré, Acerbi, and Constant (who is paying the wage?). I have no idea what their wages are but I'd guess they're making maybe 2.5 mln on average, so with tax we spend about 20 mln (10*2).
So yes, grossly simplified, but we are saving something like € 10-15 mln a year in wages this year. Please correct me if I estimated the wages wrongly.
