Worth a pretty penny.
Liverpool will be doing their utmost to keep star man Philipe Coutinho at Anfield this summer. The Brazilian has been brilliant for the club since moving from Inter Milan back in 2013 and has flourished under Jürgen Klopp. With that, however, he has garnered interest from top clubs and none more so than Barcelona.
After a disappointing season, new manager Ernesto Valverde is keen to improve his side with Coutinho top of the list.
According to the Daily Star, Liverpool have already rebuffed a £72m bid for the playmaker.
The club are ready to offer £80m to bring Coutinho to the Nou Camp, a deal that would make him the most expensive player in Barcelona history.
The record is currently held by Neymar who moved to the club for a fee in the region on £75m back in 2013.
If the move is to materialise at that fee it would make the 25-year-old the third most expensive player in history after Paul Pogba and Gareth Bale and tied with Cristiano Ronaldo.Explore more on these topics:
