Liverpool, Barca agree £108.8m for Coutinho
Liverpool’s playmaker, Philippe Coutinho, will not be at the Anfield much longer as the club have agreed an initial £108.8m fee with Barcelona.
Barca have stepped up their chase for the 25-year-old after losing Neymar to Paris Saint-Germain, and according to reports by ESPN, Liverpool have accepted an initial £81.6m fee, which could rise to £108.8m with future bonuses.
Liverpool had been unwilling to let the Spaniard leave but soften their stance after Coutinho told Anfield bosses he would prefer to make the move if a deal could be agreed between the two clubs, the outlet reported.
The deal, if it materialises, will make Coutinho the second most expensive player in football history.
