Philippe Coutinho has reported agreed a personal deal with Spanish giants Barcelona ahead of a January switch away from Premier League outfit Liverpool.
Coutinho was desperate for a move to Camp Nou in the summer but Liverpool were able to hold on to the Brazilian as they played hard-balls with the Catalan club.

The former Inter Milan midfielder though remains keen on a move to the La Liga giants and the midfielder’s agent held a meeting with Barcelona last week where they settled on a £10.6m-a-year deal, according to Sport.
That would mean wages of around £200,000-a-week, putting Coutinho among the top earners at the club.

That is expected to be the easy part of negotiations and Barcelona still have to convince Liverpool to part with their star man mid-season.
Sport claim that Coutinho’s representatives will take matters into their own hands now and go directly to Liverpool’s board to ask them to let the former Inter Milan player go.
