Although yet to be officially confirmed by either club involved, Barcelona have seemingly agreed a fee with Liverpool for the purchase of Philippe Coutinho.

A long-running transfer saga that saw the Brazilian hand in a transfer request during last summer's window, many were surprised that Coutinho would choose to depart Liverpool - and the opportunity to play Champions League football for the remainder of this season - in the January window.

However, with a general fee of £142 million being spoken as the amount Liverpool demanded from the Catalan club, the Premier League club are gaining plenty of plaudits for this incredible piece of business.

Many are doubtful that Liverpool, irrespective of the fee being discussed, can really afford to lose their most talented player at this point in the season.

With many holding onto the belief that Jurgen Klopp's side could have caused an upset in this year's Champions League, the departure of Coutinho will now put enormous pressure on Liverpool and their top 4 hopes.

Some of Liverpool's fans (and former players) however were keen to thank the Brazilian for what he gave to the club in recent seasons.

A phenomenally important component of Klopp's delightfully attacking side, certain fans are taking the high-road on this one.

While one of Barcelona's less vaunted stars was quick to welcome the arrival of the sought-after man.
