Khedira is not getting you a single penny. The contract is up and he'll return to the Bundesliga for free.
I doubt that you will find some desperate club who pays 10 mil. for Casillas or Arbeloa, too. It could happen with Casillas but only if someone goes for the name rather than performance.
You'll probably get lucky again with some dumb, desperate English club spending 50+ mil. on one of your castoffs, though.
lmao I've never seen so much masked hate for a club in one single post. No one said anything like this when Bayern brought Gotze into a side that had Ribery, Robben, Muller, and Kroos. No one said anything like this when Barca spent illegal money to bring in Neymar to a side that had Messi, Sanchez, Pedro, and Villa. Perhaps compared to Wolfsburg (or whichever club you support) 30M on a player like Danilo is excessive. But for a European contending team in this market, not so much.
If you think Danilo was going to cost less than 30M when he's at Porto, you're wrong. If you think other clubs wouldn't pay just as much you're wrong. If you think Arbeloa is good enough to play at Madrid, you're wrong. If you think Carvajal can last a whole season without getting injured, you're wrong. Spending 30M on Danilo when Carvajal spends large amounts of the season injured isn't a bad investment, and it's an added bonus that clubs like Bayern and Barca, who could use a RB, lose out on him.
You also failed to mention Coentrao and Illarramendi, the two players most likely to leave this summer. If we sell both and get less than 30M between the two of them, I won't say another word. Both are on contract till summer 2019.
The same castoff that everyone couldn't shut up about two years ago? Hell, even during the world cup people jumped back on the Ozil bandwagon. Or did you mean Di Maria, who had even more hype going for him throughout last year? It's not luck when players that perform incredibly well in a great system get sold because they're surplus to requirement, then fail to perform in a crappier system with worse players around them.
