Barcelona board convinced Coutinho deal close as delegation jets to Liverpool

Published on: 06 August 2017

Barcelona chiefs are convinced they have a deal for Liverpool ace Philippe Coutinho.

Coutinho is the prime target for Barca to replace Neymar after his world record move to PSG.

Sport says Coutinho has had a deal in place with Barca for several weeks and negotiations with Liverpool will now intensify.

The Reds expect to welcome a delegation from Barca on Monday to Merseyside to finalise a fee for their star Brazil international.

Barca's board have sanctioned a bid of €100-140m for Coutinho, making him the richest signing in the club's history. They expect a deal to be struck by Wednesday.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, meanwhile, insists Coutinho remains not for sale.
