Philippe Coutinho joins Barcelona for €160million

Klopp: ``We did all we could to keep him``

Barcelona on Saturday announced that they had agreed to sign Brazilian player Philippe Coutinho from Liverpool in a deal reported to be worth up to 160 million euros.

More from the Liverpool boss, as Jurgen Klopp opens up on the deal:
“I can tell the Liverpool supporters that we, as a club, have done everything within our means to convince Philippe that remaining part of LFC was as attractive as moving to Spain, but he is 100 per cent certain his future – and that of his family – belongs at Barcelona. It is his dream and I am now convinced there is nothing left at our disposal to change his mind.
“Philippe has made a fantastic contribution to this club over his five years of service and as disappointed as we are he doesn’t want to extend that, the relationship we have for him means with a heavy heart we wish him well.”
Klopp and Coutinho
I think that this is a great news for Liverpool fans and  the club. 160m for Coutinho, management of Barcelona are really crazy and today`s market continues to destroying a football. Coutinho is good but 160m for this type of player, haha, I`m without comments really can`t believe it. 
Sad day for football.
