A number of Liverpool supporters have been reacting to the news that the Reds could be set to receive another €20million in the Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona deal.
The Brazilian departed for the Nou Camp in January 2018, heading to Spain in a huge £142million move.
At the time, Coutinho’s exit was considered a blow, seeing as he had been one of Liverpool’s outstanding players under Jurgen Klopp, proving to be the creative force within the team.
Instead of missing him, however, the Reds have never looked back since the 28-year-old departed, winning the Champions League and Premier League.
On the flip side, Coutinho has struggled at Barca, even being sent out on loan to Bayern Munich last season.
It has now been revealed by Cat Radio [via barcacentre on Twitter] that Liverpool will earn another €20m if the Brazil international plays 12 more times for Barca, reaching 100 games and triggering a clause in the deal made with the Reds.
These Liverpool fans have been reacting to the news, hailing the negotiation skills of Michael Edwards in the process.

At this rate we might end up getting €1.4 Billion from the sale of Coutinho alone.
