Liverpool agree to Philippe Coutinho’s Barcelona move

LIVERPOOL are reportedly ready to negotiate Philippe Coutinho’s big-money move to Barcelona.
Liverpool have agreed to negotiate Philippe Coutinho's move to Barcelona
Spanish newspaper Sport claims the Reds have performed an incredible U-turn after owners Fenway Sports Group and Coutinho’s representatives held a meeting with a “very positive outcome” on Friday.
It’s said that the Brazilian’s continual pressure on Liverpool to let him up sticks for Barcelona has finally paid off.


And the Reds will now cash in to the sum of anywhere between £138million to £148m, with a replacement already in the works.
Liverpool have launched an incredible £55m bid for Monaco playmaker Thomas Lemar.

The France international is also wanted by Arsenal but could now be heading to Anfield as Coutinho’s replacement.

The report adds that Jurgen Klopp tried convincing the Liverpool board he could manage the situation and convince Coutinho to stay.

But the powers that be have decided they are better taking a massive wad of cash from Barca and using it to boost the squad days before the transfer deadline.
The money could also help Liverpool finally land the new central midfielder they’ve been craving, with Renato Sanches the latest to be linked to Merseyside.

Bayern Munich left the ace out of their matchday squad at the weekend.

And Sanches could now be set to join Lemar at Liverpool in a sensational double swoop.
