Breaking: Barcelona make the Coutinho arrival official, the details
Paul Joyce reported that the deal is done, and that the world can expect official confirmation as soon as tonight. The, now, former Liverpool midfielder is on his way to the Catalan capital as you read this. Barcelona will dish out close to 160 million euros to Liverpool to acquire the young Brazilian starlet. Let's not forget that the reds acquired Coutinho from Inter Milan back in 2013 for a very small 8.5 million sterling pounds fee so this is a great piece of business for them. The Brazilian offensive midfielder appeared in 25 games on the season (for Brazil and Liverpool) as he scored 15 goals and added 8 assists so far in 2017-18. He will certainly add some extra offensive punch to Barcelona...
Transfer Update: Barcelona have now confirmed the move on their official website as Coutinho will be signing a 5 and a half year deal with the Blaugrana. He will have a 400 million release clause in his new contract.
