Barcelona, Soler:"Liverpool asked us for 200 million for Coutinho"

After Neymar's shocking transfer to Paris St Germain, much was expected from Barcelona on the transfer- in the end only Ousmane Dembele' arrived to bolster the front line. The blaugrana's director of institutional relationships Soler discusse his club's efforts on the transfer market:"Dembele' is the most expensive purchase in the club's history, he represents the future of the club. We thank Coutinho for the efforts he made to come here but yesterday Liverpool asked us 200 million, we left the negotiation. Had we spent 270 million for two players we would have had to resign for being irresponsible. Paulinho? He cost 40 million without bonuses. Verratti? We spoke to Emery, he was aware of our interest"
