The destinations have still to be finalised, with price tags yet to be settled during a summer of uncertainty.

What is assured, however, is that Pompey will be receiving a £1m-plus transfer fee for the first time in almost nine years.

The wrangling continues over Matt Clarke’s purported switch to Brighton in a deal which could be concluded for around £5m.

Meanwhile, the Blues are holding out for £3m in the matter of Jamal Lowe, with Millwall and Wigan having £1.5m bids knocked back.

It is Clarke, though, who remains a certain departure during this close season.

And irrespective of the precise sums collected for either, they can be relied on to represent Pompey’s biggest sales since August 2010.

It was on transfer deadline day under Steve Cotterill when Tommy Smith and Marc Wilson both departed in separate arrangements, each earning the Blues more than £1m.

Since then, no Pompey sale has registered as much – until potentially now.
