What a mess to be in:-
"The BBC quoted Kevin Maguire as saying that Tottenham will have the capacity to strengthen but still
owe more than £330m in unpaid transfer fees, a considerable proportion of which are due in summer 2025.
That said, a 2025 report in
Team Talk indicates that Spurs still owed £441m in unpaid transfer fees, as revealed by their financial accounts at the time.
It’s common for football clubs to pay transfer fees in instalments, spreading costs over several years, which can result in substantial outstanding balances. The £441m figure, if accurate, indicates Spurs have significant commitments from past transfers, potentially necessitating player sales to balance their finances, as suggested by some sources."
