Barcelona are finalizing an offer in excess of €150 million to secure Philippe Coutinho from Liverpool, which would make him the third-most expensive footballer in the world and their record signing.
Only Neymar’s €222m switch from La Liga's leaders to Paris Saint Germain, and his team-mate Kylian Mbappe’s loan move from Monaco - which becomes permanent ahead of next season for €180m - surpass that figure.
It would also see Coutinho oust Ousmane Dembele - brought in from Borussia Dortmund last August for an initial fee of €105m that could rise to €145m - as the club's highest-cost recruit.
Barca bloated their three failed bids with unrealistic extras for the Brazil international in the summer, but their base amount now would eclipse the €105m Manchester United paid to Juventus for Paul Pogba in August 2016 by around €15m to set a new British transfer record.
It will be supplemented by €40m in add-ons related to performances and appearances, which are likely to be triggered.
There was a possibility of doing an advanced deal now ahead of 2018-19, but Barca and the 25-year-old are insistent on an immediate transfer.

Would be a huge mistake for Liverpool to let him go in the current window.
Liverpool will do fine without him more over the money will be enough to strenghten their poor defense
