Money discussions and Alexander Isak listens hard to Liverpool.
And regardless of the summer spending of the Reds, there is still money to splash to get the Swedish star from Toon and to Anfield.
This week Liverpool saw the signature of the striker Hugo Ekitike for £ 69 million to increase their publication to £ 270 million since June.
This includes the gigantic £ 100 million acquisition of Bundesliga 'Wunderkind' Florian Wirtz.
Baas Arne Slot's edition is already spectacular, but it threatens to become an eye.
So £ 120m-plus for Isak? No problem. Let Anfield owners Fenway Sports Group have the bank account number of Newcastle and sort the code.
Because Liverpool rolls in, with the greatest purchasing power in the history of the club at the moment, ready to break all financial barriers to create a team to make terror in the hearts of not only their domestic rivals, but in those in Europe.
FSG and protagonist John W Henry always tend to do their business quietly, their purchases are usually protected early before the annual expenses turn desperate towards the end of the transfer toys when huge costs are bumped.
But this time they might as well scream from the roof next to the liver birds high above the banks of the Mersey River.
Thanks to the excellent financial ship of the Americans and a brilliant transfer strategy that was hatched by Michael Edwards, who returned to the club 16 months ago as CEO of Football-playing, they can now bridge every rival.
Their former sports director went back, while Liverpool was still wondering who he should name as a replacement of Jurgen Klopp, and he has supervised a stunning operation that the club has given money to burn.
Last summer, only £ 10 million was spent on Federico Chiesa When Klopp's successor Slot decided, in addition to Edwards and sports director Richard Hughes, to linger and not to play with the team that the German left behind. But they did apply an initial turnover of £ 47.5 million.
This year the astute trade meant that Liverpool even received £ 8 million from Real Madrid because he would have free agent Trent Alexander-Arnold leave early for a month to play in the World Cup club, while £ 50 million was collected by the sale of Caiomhin Kelleher, Nat Phillips and Jarell Quansah.
There is also huge money that goes on the bank, because that lock is now apart from Uruguayan flop striker Darwin Nunez can bring in about £ 55 million, midfielder Harvey Elliott is connected to a £ 30 million switch to West Ham, and full-backs costas tsimikas or Andy Robertson will £ 15 M.
Luis does not want to see Luis Diaz leave, but the Colombian attacker has made it clear that he is looking for a new, larger and longer contract elsewhere and is unhappy that no one has spoken with him about extending his current deal that has to be running for two years.
Bayern Munich will certainly return after a failed bid of £ 58 million, but another £ 7 million will see him out to the Bundesliga.
Add that little bit and you can take part of £ 180 million from all the money needed to bring in Ekitike, midfielder Wirtz, Wing-back Jeremie Frimpong and left back Milos Kerkez-what means a potential net spending of a much less eye-watery £ 90 million.
Last season Gamble had the same team that Klopp had, Bar Chiesa, also brought in £ 174.9 million in Prem Title -Winning prize money.
And Champions League football means even more money for Liverpool. Not to mention that, since FSG was ready to increase Anfield for more than 61,000 fans, a cool £ 3.12 million for each home game is guaranteed.
And the Reds are only £ 40 million in the permitted £ 105 million losses in a three -year cycle.
Signing Isak – even with more than £ 120 million – will not really create sleepless nights for Anfield Chiefs, nor is there the impression that it will not get full value for Diaz or Nunez will take care of them so much.
Anyway, with the South -American couple on the way to the outside, another top striker is needed -something that would not have been the case, but for the tragic death of Diogo Jota this month.
Life moves in mysterious ways. But there is no mystery why Isak Newcastle has told that he wants to explore a move – or why Liverpool can fail the British transfer record. And the magpies also listen to him.
