Philippe Coutinho agrees to join Barcelona who now just need to finalise a fee with Liverpool.

Philippe Coutinho has agreed to personal terms at Barcelona and now all the Catalan club need to do is finalise a transfer fee with Liverpool, according to Spanish source Rac1.

Apparently Barca and Coutinho have come to an agreement on everything to do with his contract and the Brazilian is happy to make the switch to the Camp Nou.

The attacking trio of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez have all endorsed the deal and are ready for the creativity of the 25-year-old to be added to the team.

The Spanish giants have already had a £72m bid for Coutinho rejected by the Reds, reports Sky Sports, but are preparing to come back with a second offer.

The Merseyside club have insisted that the midfielder is “100% not for sale”; a sentiment echoed by manager Jurgen Klopp, who views the Brazil international as a key part of his plans.

However, a report from the Metro claims that officials from Barcelona have arrived in England to negotiate the deal and are ready to pay £89m to secure Coutinho.
