Well, as you’d expect, it’s somewhere straight down the middle.

From Liverpool’s perspective, they’re paying £125m in a fixed fee.

Isak, despite effectively being persona non grata and demanding a move never actually handed in a transfer request on Tyneside, thus leaving the Magpies on the hook for loyalty payments and bonuses.

To get the deal done, Newcastle have negotiated that he waive the £5m he’s owed for his three years at the club.

Therefore, your Liverpool reporters are calling it £125m.
