In Germany, the magazine Der Spiegel has published leaked emails between Barcelona and Liverpool, showing the Reds rejected a first offer for Philippe Coutinho this summer before turning away another, with their sporting director, Michael Edwards, writing: “I ask you amicably to stop harassing Coutinho publicly and privately. No sum will lead us to reverse our decision.” Barça’s assertion that Liverpool had demanded £183m for Coutinho in the latter stages of the transfer window was also exposed as incorrect. The leaked emails also show that Barcelona had offered the player €115m (£102m) for a five-year contract, in effect doubling his £150,000-a-week earnings at Liverpool, with €10m promised to his agent should a transfer fee for the player be fixed at under £100m. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/sep/23/liverpool-leicester-jurgen-klopp-harlem-globetrotters
