Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce is concerned he faces a slashed summer transfer budget.
Profitable Newcastle want to hand their boss around £50million to spend on new blood when they survive in the top flight, reports the Mirror.
But that is likely to be reduced because club income of £170m last year will tumble, like many rivals, because of broadcast payment reductions and season ticket refunds.
Bruce wants up to four new players and will price up deals for Danny Rose and Valentino Lazaro this week – with the future of Matty Longstaff also high on the agenda.
Bruce said: “I would envisage our budget is not going to be as big as what it was going to be in January before all this started.
"There are big discussions to be had but we are still always trying to go and find another player or two or three or four.
“That's always going to be my job – will knock on and break down the door because my job is to make sure we are competitive when we start up again.
“There will be a lot of clubs – I was intrigued to listen to Mikel Arteta speaking the other day - we've got to see where this leaves us in terms of what we have been through. That goes for a lot of clubs."
