Liverpool and Barcelona confirmed on Saturday night that star attacking midfielder Philippe Coutinho has finally made the switch from the English Premier League to La Liga, after a transfer saga that has rumbled on for more than six months.

Coutinho joins the European giants on a five-and-a-half year deal for a reported £142m, £105m of which will be paid upfront, a British record for a sale of a player.

It's a bitter blow for Liverpool's season given the form the Brazilian has been in for the last few months, scoring 12 goals and assisting nine more in just 19 appearances between the Premier League and UEFA Champions League.

Fans are upset the club couldn't continue to say no to the Catalan side until the summer, believing signing a direct replacement will be difficult in the January transfer window.

With a top four place at stake alongside progression in Europe, will Jurgen Klopp's side be the same now he has left Anfield?
