I'd demand 180-200m from another PL team.
We need to see teams like Liverpool as our rivals, if not now than at least over the next few years, have to ask ourselves if we are happy to be competing against him every season for the next 5 years.
Agreed but I'd go further, especially for Liverpool. He's not for sale, you want him you need break the world record. No he's not worth that, but it's a sellers market. We can't replace him so he's priceless to us.
If its as simple as us selling for 120 and buying Ekitike for 80, why then wouldn't Liverpool just buy Ekitike and keep the change? Ultimately selling Isak would weaken us and strengthen, yes a rival club.
We are not at a title challenging stage (yet) of course, miles from it. But we want to be at the level just below that, so they are still positional rivals in that sense.
