Coutinho Finally agrees with Barcelona

It's the news no Liverpool fan wants to hear, but it appears as though Philippe Coutinho is on his way out of Anfield, with the Reds reportedly accepting a bid from Barcelona for the Brazilian playmaker.

A Barca bid for the 25-year-old Brazil international had been expected ever since the Catalan club sold Neymar to Paris Saint-Germain in a world record breaking deal, last week.

The deal that will take the former Internazionale forward to the Camp Nou is believed to be worth somewhere in the region of 90 million (£81.6 million), potentially rising to €120m (£108.8 million) with bonuses and add-ons. 

The Reds are believed to have rejected an initial bid of £72 million, last month, with Jurgen Klopp informing the La Liga giants that they were wasting their energy trying to land the Brazilian as a replacement for Neymar.

However, with Barca's transfer funds receiving a significant boost from the Neymar windfall, combined with Coutinho's desire to move to Barca, the Blaugrana have now enabled themselves to make Liverpool an offer they can't refuse for Coutinho, leaving Jurgen Klopp in need of a replacement for his Brazilian magician before the end of the month, with the new Premier League season kicking off, this weekend.
