I think you are pretty much correct on the numbers.....and I don't think it's unrealistic to think we'll spend at least 50-60 mil this summer (assuming that the takeover is completed and especially if we make the CL).
Vrsaljko has developed nicely at Sassuolo. I wasn't convinced a couple of years ago when we were linked to him but he's really doing a good job over there. I hope that the ship hasn't sailed for him. Also, I hate when we have to compete with Juventus for players nowdays (they seem to be very interested in him) as they are the more attractive option right now. (Dybala example)
About Vazquez (I actually think he played well yesterday, and he proved so hard to dispossess every time he was on the ball), unless we plan on playing him right behind Bacca (or as a SS next to Bacca), there is no point of splashing 20 mil on him. IF that's the plan.....than the question arises as to what we are going to do with Menez and even Niang (I think he'll fully expect to be a starter next year).
