Despite losing their prized asset this week, it wasn't all doom and gloom for Liverpool following Philippe Coutinho's sensational move to Barcelona.
The Brazilian's dream £145million switch to the Spanish giants has seen the Reds make a tidy profit on a player they signed from Inter Milan in 2013.
With Coutinho relatively unknown at the time, Brendan Rodgers parted with £8.5m to sign the Brazilian and he went on to become a fans' favourite at Anfield.
