Liverpool have various assets (Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez) who's value is both attainable by Saudi, but also believably inflatable,due to the market. E.g. Luis Diaz may be worth £50m but nobody would flinch at an £80m deal. Saudi pay over-inflated prices for Liverpool's assets, and Liverpool pass on the "additional profit" to Newcastle in the form of an inflated transfer for Alexander Isak / Anthony Gordon. Newcastle benefit: £120-£150m cash injection. Liverpool benefit: Sell unwanted assets & gain a star player. PIF benefit: Gain Liverpool assets & inject the fee paid into Newcastle. Conclusion (opinion): If true, I wouldn't be surprised if the Isak fee reaches £140-£150m, as the "additional fee" on top of what Liverpool would expect to pay (£100-120m) would be regained via inflated fees for their players to Saudi.
