Maybe Nike considers helping here a little and they are the ones pushing for him. Disregard the hack or whatever the hell happened with their site.

Think about it, currently we have the biggest stars singed with Adidas(Messi, Suarez) or Puma(Dembele). From what I know only Iniesta and Pique are sponsored by Nike and let's face it they're not as marketable as a brazilian PL star in his prime. After Neymar left they were left with their pants down at our club.

Nike could for example cover some of his salary with marketing bonuses or whatever kind of clauses they can sign with him.

Then again, Bartomeu and co have fixations from time to time and Coutinho could be no different.

Not sure abt the source but Bartomeu and co sure have something up their sleeves. It may very well be true.

I think Dembele is Nike, not Puma.

Can't find shit regarding his sponsorship. Just remember something about Dembele going to Dortmund because they were sponsored by puma. Both him and Dortmund. While everyone was scratching their heads why Rennes didin't sell to us or other big clubs which were ready to pay even more. Something like even though the official price was 15 million euros, the sum was bigger as Puma covered some pays from their wallets.

Maybe someone who has more info could shed some light. I apologize if i'm mistaken.

Anyway, doesn't detract from my main point. Nike wants a brazilian star in our team and they might consider ponying up some money for his signature.
 
Liverpool fans on reddit make my eyes bleed

Are you the user named CRINGY_COMMENT that trolled their sub-reddit yesterday with the new that Coutinho wasn't at Liverpool training yesterday? I took a look at that poster's history and almost 90% of the account's posts are trolling and talking shit about Rakitic, so I'm pretty sure it's you.

170 - 180m. is too damn much. We should not sign him at this price. In fact, what we should do is approach these players before they renew their contracts to give ourselves some advantages in negotiations. One thing is to get Coutinho when he has 1-2 years max on his contract, and a whole new different game when he's just signed until 2022 or so.

Bayern seem to approach players 1-2 seasons before their contract runs out and they either wait and get them for free (Lewa), or get them for a fair price like Hummels. Get ahead of the game if we don't want to risk the club's finances.

Transfermarkt confirms that he is sponsored by Nike.

Thought that you cant beat that summer circus we had and now this:lol: I mean nike announcing coutinho and still not statement by anyone(nike/barca/liverpool). So childish behaviour by all parties and now he is suddenly injured. What should i believe? I guess coutinho is trying it again and nike/barca are desperate for this move and forcing liverpool to the corner.

Everything coincidence? Something happend .... I dont believe liverpool is stupid enough to sell coutinho now but they did buy a defender for almost 100m and now this circus....

Don’t think we’ll pay more than 140-150m including variables. I am willing to bet we won’t pay 180m.

My God football market today is just disguisting.

Ah ok. Thanks.

Dembele still has some ways to go to be the face of Nike at us. While Coutinho is ready to be whored all over the world for Nike with immediate impact.

Eh, just speculation on my part.
