Doesnt matter. Players come and go as always. If the Bastr@ds want Cou, then agree to these clause:
1) Cou still will be a Liverpool player until 24th Aug, 0000 BST, therefore as a LFC player, he will still play in UCL.
2) £150m for the man and no UCL for him.
Clause 1 will be good for Coutinho as of Liverpool goes thru, he has a part to play and something for the fans to remember. Then on the other hand, make him focus on whether play UCL this season for LFC or risk one season without UCL with Bastr@ds. If PC att A manningering then LFC can turn ugly and brings him to court.
So in the end, Bastr@ds also gets their man but no UCL for PC.
Best for both clubs. Period.
