Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho will move to Barcelona, ??the question is only in the transition date.
Barcelona has almost agreed on the transition Coutinho, reports Goal. It is assumed that the transfer of the Brazilian will cost the club at 150 million euros. This will make Philippe third among the most expensive players in the history of football - after Kilian Mbagpe (from Monaco to PSG for 180 million) and Neimar (from Barcelona to PSG for 222 million).
Accordingly, Coutinho will become the most expensive beginner in the history of Barcelona. Now this record belongs to Usman Dembele, who moved from Borussia D for 105 million euros (this amount can grow to 145 million due to bonuses).
Goal claims that the parties could agree on a transfer before the start of the next season, but Barcelona and Coutinho insist on moving right now.
In the summer, Liverpool did not sell Coutinho to Barcelona, ??
but the Brazilian is determined to become a player of the Catalans.
All attempts by Liverpool to convince Coutinho to stay in the club were unsuccessful. At the same time, the "reds" were ready to raise their salaries to the highest paid player in the team.
Coutinho moved to Liverpool in 2013 from Inter for 13 million euros. For 201 match he scored 54 goals and did not win a single trophy. This season, Philippe scored 12 goals and made 8 assists in all tournaments.
