Philippe Coutinho’s dream of playing for Barcelona is close after the Spanish giants agreed a fee with Liverpool for the Brazilian. Both clubs have agreed a fee in the region of £142million for the 25-year-old playmaker, according to the BBC.
Coutinho’s imminent move to Spain will see the former Inter Milan star become the second most expensive transfer in football history, behind Neymar’s €222million move to Ligue 1 leaders, Paris Saint-Germain.
Liverpool were reluctance to sell their star midfielder, and rejected Barcelona’s three offers for the playmaker, who also handed in a transfer request last summer.
However, the Catalan are now poised to get their man, a situation that has seen fans of the English side having so much to say.
Here are some of the best reactions from Reds’ fans, who are not in any way happy with Coutinho’s inevitable departure from Anfield.
