Not so long ago, Barcelona lost one of its leaders - Brazilian Neimar, who went to the French PSG.
It was clear that the Catalans will have to seek reinforcement in the place of the left player.
Yesterday it was reported that representatives of Barca went to Liverpool to hold talks on the leader of the "red" Philippe Coutinho.
According to ESPN, the Catalans are returning home having reached an agreement in principle with the Mersey people on the transfer of the 25-year-old Brazilian for 90 million euros plus 30 million in bonuses.
Note also that Coutinho himself agreed a contract with Barcelona for a period of 5 years.
