"Liverpool" understands that at the moment they cannot compete with such a European football giant as "Barcelona", that's why when selling Philippe Coutinho, the "Reds" included a rather unusual clause in the deal.
"Cadena SER" reveals that "Liverpool" can feel secure for the next three years due to Barcelona's interest in their team's players.
A promise was included in the Brazilian deal that "Barcelona" will not try to buy any other "Liverpool" player until 2021.
Acquiring P. Coutinho required a lot of effort from Barcelona - they wanted to sign him in the summer of 2017, but negotiations dragged on until the next transfer window in January 2018.
The "lock" put on by Liverpool at least for now can make them feel at ease regarding players like Roberto Firmino or Mohamed Salah.
