Coutinho ‘willing to take pay cut’ in order to join Barcelona

Liverpool playmaker, Philippe Coutinho, is reportedly ready to take a pay cut in order to force a move to Barcelona.


The Brazilian has been strongly linked with a move to the La Liga side, with the Reds reported to have already turned down one bid.

According to Spanish outlet, Sport, the player himself would be happy to earn a lower basic salary at the Camp Nou.

However, the contract would include significant bonuses, which could see him earn more than his current deal with the Premier League side.

Coutinho signed a new five-year deal at Anfield earlier this year, which sees him earning around £8million a year.
