adminLONDON. — Liverpool have agreed to sell Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona against the wishes of Jurgen Klopp, according to reports in Brazil.
The Reds hierarchy have agreed a transfer fee in the region of £90million for Coutinho to join the Catalan giants.
EPSN Brazil claim Klopp has repeatedly ordered Liverpool not to sell Coutinho, but the German has now been overruled by the club’s top brass. And Coutinho would like to move to Barcelona if a deal can be done amicably with Liverpool, according to Sky sources.
Liverpool are believed to have come to terms with Barcelona on Saturday when the Brazilian was a noticeable absentee from the team that played against Atletico Bilbao in Dublin. Coutinho has informed Liverpool he wants to leave and has agreed personal terms with Barcelona ahead of the mega-move.
Neymar’s departure accelerated talks between Liverpool and Barcelona after an opening bid of around £75m was rejected last month. — Metro-Sky Sports
