Kulasevski and Romero are both on loan with buy obligations - so this summer they will have to put down £70m for them both. They also paid £25m for Bentacur in Jan so that's close to £100m already.
It's for frustrating we bottled CL football because had we pipped Spurs to 4th I really feel they would have struggled to compete in the market.
I suspect key for them will be moving on some of their loanees - interesting to see how Levy manages here. Lo Celso is on +£100k and Ndombele reportedly £200k. If they get sizeable fees for either then that will only evidence further how useless Edu is in the market.

Your numbers are way off - Kulu, Romero and Bentacur are all on payment plans - about 12m a year for five years covers all three. Spurs have also converted 250m of "Covid Loss" into a 20 year bond type deal - so about 15m a year .... and they've now had the first full season of stadium revenue - Joshua, Gaga, Conferences that's probably added 100m to their income, they sell over 1m of beer alone at NFL games. Strong rumour that they are very close to a massive naming rights deal .... bottom line they are feckin' loaded. FFP is gone it's now FFS where wages you can pay are based on a % of income, Spuds have one of the lowest %'s in the league, The timing for them getting CL has been perfect, and we let that happen,

The numbers are what are reported. Almost all deals in football are staggered payments - doesn't change the fact that they have spent a big outlay on players already. Their latest financial report has £140m of transfer debt - the above deals will get added to that and then paid down year on year.
They are certainly not 'feckin' loaded' going by their latest financial report and they have a huge rebuilding job to do in the summer. They have about 5 CL quality players in their squad. I agree though, per my opening comment a lack of CL football this year would have really hurt them.
