Liverpool and Barcelona have already come to an agreement over the transfer of Philippe Coutinho to Nou Camp next summer.
That is the view of former Reds midfielder Jason McAteer, who stated his belief that the Anfield-based side are likely to have already shaken hands on allowing the Brazilian to move to Catalonia after this season.
McAteer was speaking to beIN Sports about the ongoing transfer saga concerning Coutinho, and he revealed that he wouldn't be surprised if Liverpool and La Blaugrana had put together a deal not too dissimilar from the one that saw Luis Suarez eventually leave Merseyside back in 2013.
