Liverpool accept Barcelona’s £90m bid for Philippe Coutinho - huge claims in Brazil

Barcelona have spent the last few weeks aiming to
prise Coutinho away from Liverpool.
Having lost Neymar to Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-
Germain, the Catalan giants have £200million in the
bank account - which they plan to use on a marquee
name.
Borussia Dortmund’s Ousmane Dembele is among their
major targets but, at the moment, Coutinho in their
priority.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has repeatedly insisted
the Brazil international will not be leaving, saying he
wants all his best players to still be at the club by the
time the transfer window shuts.
