Yep .. I went there ..
Whilst I don't think that's how it will pan out this Summer, I do think there's a World where that is workable, with some additional sales and (the hard bit) clever negotiation with Real Madrid.

- I think there's a player+cash deal to be had to get Rodrygo, where Konaté goes the other way. They get their man, we spend a bit less on Rodrygo, Rodrygo (if he backs himself) looks forward to being the "main man" in our attack in a couple of seasons when Salah leaves.
- I think Diaz could be sold to Bayern (or whoever) and the money utilised to cover the Guehi fee, leaving us with a little "loose change" from that deal.
- Isak's price tag would be huge, but selling Núñez (£40m?) and Elliott (£35m?) would get us halfway to the alleged £150m, meaning we had to "find" somewhat less of the money, which is before considering any little £10m top-ups we might get from players such as Bajcetic if we decide we are selling such players rather than loaning them.
