Barcelona are on the brink of announcing the signing of Liverpool top star Philippe Coutinho, according to matching press reports in England and Spain.

Spanish media outlet RAC1 is reporting that Barcelona have now agreed personal terms in principle with Coutinho.

Barca will test Liverpool's resolve to hold onto their prized jewel by offering The Reds approximately eighty million euros (about N33.2 billion).

If Liverpool accept Barcelona's €80 million bid for Coutinho, the player will become the third most expensive in the club's history, behind Neymar (€85 million) and Suárez (€81 million) .

The 25-year-old is contracted to the Anfield side until June 30, 2022 after signing an extension to his deal in January.
