Back in the Premier League for the first time since the 2016/17 term, Sunderland are the odds-on favourites to see an instant drop down to the Championship.
With that said, the Black Cats have spent in excess of €100m up to now in a bid to avoid relegation, spread across the signings of six players.
Sunderland's yearly wage expenditure reportedly came to £16,030,000 last season, and it now stands at £79,137,500.
