Barcelona’s third bid for Philippe Coutinho, rejected by Liverpool on Friday, reportedly contained a string of ambitious add-ons.
According to David Maddock of the Daily Mirror, while the offer was worth a potential £119 million, only £80 million—paid over five years—of that figure would be guaranteed. The rest would be made up by what Maddock described as "never-never payments."
It means Liverpool would have received money if Coutinho had won "multiple trophies in the same season" and "multiple Champions League titles" for Barca. The Reds would also be reimbursed if the Brazilian won the Ballon d’Or on one then numerous occasions.
