Paul Joyce from the Times claims that Barcelona have to pay an additional €100m over any transfer fee if they want another Liverpool player.
Philippe Coutinho moved to Barcelona in January for a fee of £142m and the clause was added by Michael Edwards when sealing the deal.
Joyce added that the Catalans would have to pay the extra amount if they want to sign a Liverpool player before 2020.
Barcelona will have to pay a 100million Euros premium in addition to any transfer fee should they try and sign another Liverpool player before 2020.
The clause was negotiated by sporting director Michael Edwards as part of Philippe Coutinho’s £142million move. @TimesSport— paul joyce (@_pauljoyce) November 21, 2018
Losing Coutinho was a bit of a blow for the Reds in the winter window, but it seems we still got a brilliant deal from all this.
While it doesn’t keep Barcelona from moving for a Liverpool player, at least we will get a premium for anyone we sell to the La Liga giants.
A number of Liverpool fans loved the inclusion of this clause and praised Edwards for his doing on Twitter.
Hahahahahahahaha I hope we build a statue of him outside Anfield

The truth is not many clubs can compete with Barcelona and Madrid, so using such a clause is a shrewd piece of business!
