LIVERPOOL: Liverpool will offer supporters who bought shirts bearing the name of Philippe Coutinho (pix) a £50 (RM271) voucher to help offset the impact on fans of the Brazilian's move to Barcelona.

The 25-year-old star, who had agitated for a move away from Anfield since last summer, finally got his wish on Saturday when the two clubs agreed a deal worth €160 million (RM868 million).

"The club is to offer supporters who bought a 2017-18 replica shirt printed with Philippe Coutinho's name and number a £50 (RM271) voucher, once the move is completed," said a statement from Liverpool.

"Supporters should present their 2017-18 Coutinho replica shirt at any official club store where the voucher will be issued. The shirt will not be retained but proof of purchase will be required." — AFP
