The prospect of 19 players leaving Tottenham.

If relegation occurs, Tottenham could lose up to 19 players after this season.

Tottenham are in crisis.

Last summer, fans expected Tottenham to compete for a European spot. But less than eight months later, manager Thomas Frank left the job. Igor Tudor took over and immediately tasted defeat, losing 1-4 to Arsenal on the morning of February 23rd. At the same time, West Ham, in 18th place, gradually narrowed the gap with Spurs to just four points.

If the worst-case scenario occurs, Tottenham will face severe financial consequences. According to The Telegraph , many players do not have clauses for salary reductions if they are relegated. This means the club will struggle to cover its wage bill if it has to play in the Championship. A large-scale squad overhaul is almost inevitable.

Currently, there are at least nine players earning over £100,000 per week, including Xavi Simons, Cristian Romero, James Maddison, Conor Gallagher, Randal Kolo Muani, Mohammed Kudus, Dominic Solanke, Joao Palhinha, and Dejan Kulusevski. The group earning between £85,000 and £90,000 per week includes Richarlison, Micky van de Ven, Pedro Porro, and Radu Dragusin.

In terms of transfer value, Van de Ven, Romero, Simons, Kudus, Kulusevski, and Porro are the most expensive assets. Van de Ven was once valued at over £100 million and attracted interest from both Real Madrid and Liverpool. Romero was also on the radar of Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

In addition, The Athletic claims that Gallagher, Kevin Danso, Djed Spence, Destiny Udogie, and Rodrigo Bentancur could leave. Players like Mathys Tel and Yves Bissouma are also unlikely to accept playing in the Championship.

If relegation were to occur, Tottenham could have to part ways with up to 19 players, triggering an unprecedented exodus in the club's Premier League era.
