The Liverpool Echo have this afternoon provided an insight into the windfall Liverpool will receive, based on Philippe Coutinho’s loan move to Bayern Munich.
Barca exit incoming?
On the back of a disappointing campaign with Barcelona last time out, Brazilian attacker Coutinho has been hotly-tipped for a Camp Nou departure this summer.
Mounting claims last week insisted that a return to the Premier League was very much on the cards for the 27-year-old, but, in the end, a switch to either Arsenal or Tottenham failed to come to fruition before the close of the English transfer window.
This subsequently led to links to PSG hotting up.
A potential swap deal which would see Coutinho make his way, along with a large cash sum, to the Parc des Princes, in exchange for Neymar, had long been touted.

Bayern bound
The French champions’ status as favourite to clinch a deal for the Brazilian, however, has been majorly dented over the last 48 hours.
This comes on the back of Bayern Munich entering the fray.
And, following mounting claims that the Bavarian powerhouse were inching towards a surprise loan deal with Barcelona, Blaugrana spokesman Guillermo Amor confirmed last night that an ‘agreement in principle’ had been found:
“I can confirm that there’s an agreement in principle in the case of Coutinho’s loan [to Bayern].”
Liverpool’s cut
This, in turn, was followed by further reports stemming from Spain, surrounding Liverpool’s potential windfall based on Coutinho’s Bayern switch.
Some outlets outlandishly went as far as to suggest that the Reds were set to receive the full 20 million Euro loan fee.
Paul Gorst of the reliable Liverpool Echo, though, has since provided some clarity regarding the situation.
Liverpool will indeed receive a percentage of the fee forked over by Bayern.
However, the Merseysiders’ cut will in fact come in at around £5 million:
Reports that #LFC are due near €20m from Philippe Coutinho’s loan move to Bayern Munich are inaccurate.
The Reds are now only owed €5m from the £142m sale in January 2018.
