The Truth About Philippe Coutinho's Barcelona Transfer | REVEALED

Liverpool sold Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona in January 2018 for a fee of £142m.

And now the Liverpool Echo's LFC Correspondent Paul Gorst has revealed the finer details of the transfer.

Clauses, future payments and even bans on signing players were all included by Liverpool's sporting director Michael Edwards in the deal that saw Coutinho head to Spain.

It hasn't worked out for the Brazilian at Barcelona and he has spent this season on loan at Bayern Munich, who he will attempt to help into the Champions League final tonight when they take on Lyon.

Coutinho came off the bench to score two goals and set-up another as Bayern humiliated his parent club Barca 8-2 on Friday night.
