According to the ECHO, 58% of Liverpool fans surveyed want Philippe Coutinho to remain at Anfield until the summer transfer window. Those same fans are happy to see the Brazilian leave for Barcelona following the completion of the current season, however.
The ECHO’s website surveyed 4,000 Liverpool fans on what the club should do with Coutinho. The vast majority want Liverpool to keep the playmaker, but sell him to Barcelona in July. Meanwhile, 24.3% of Liverpool fans want to see the Reds cash-in on him now and re-invest the money into new players.
The ECHO also asked supporters how much money the Reds should demand for Coutinho. Over 52% of respondents voted that Barcelona should pay £150 million or more for Coutinho. The player’s contract runs until 2022, and he just signed a new contract in the winter of 2017.
When Liverpool fans were asked which player they wanted as Coutinho’s replacement, nearly 45% voted for Monaco’s Thomas Lemar. Over 20% of voters selected Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez and nearly 9% voted for Borussia Dortmund’s American wunderkind Christian Pulisic.
While fans have had their say via the ECHO’s website. Plenty of fans and members of the media have expressed their thoughts, news and opinions on Coutinho through social media.
Barcelona are finalising a package in excess of €150 million for Philippe Coutinho, which would make him their record signing and the third most expensive player in the world. Seems to now be a matter of when not if a deal will be done… https://t.co/pCjJy7PjCw#LFC #FCB pic.twitter.com/uoeGq4jyEc

Good Morning. Before I start my daily routine, I would like to first of all, without any nasty intentions, remind fans of Liverpool Football Club that we, FC Barcelona of Catalunya, are getting Philippe Coutinho and there's absolutely nothing they can do about.

Jürgen Klopp on Philippe Coutinho: "All the things I could say now would just create stories, so I have nothing to say about it. It's the transfer window, that's all. There's nothing I could say that would help me, the player or the club."#LFC #FCB
