The Merseyside club have finally accepted defeat in their bid to hold on to their prize asset as Coutinho heads to La Liga
PHILIPPE COUTINHO IS on his way to Barcelona with the Spanish giants preparing to make an announcement at 7pm this evening.
Liverpool have fought to the last to keep hold of their attacking midfielder.
But the Catalan giants have finally got their man after a fourth bid of around £138million.
Liverpool had rejected increasing offers from the Nou Camp to take the Brazilian international.
A third offer of £118 million was turned down but the Liverpool’s resolve finally broke yesterday with the player intent on the move from Anfield to the Nou Camp.
Now it looks like his dream move will become a reality after four-and-a-half seasons at Anfield in which time he made 182 appearances scoring 42 goals.
The deal gives Liverpool a huge profit on a player they bought for £8.5million from Inter Milan.
