Liverpool ace Philippe Coutinho is willing to sacrifice a massive £15m to complete his move to Barcelona.

El Mundo Deportivo says Coutinho is about to complete a £140million transfer but is paying £15m out of his own pocket to secure the deal and rejected more money from PSG and Real Madrid.

He has agreed to forego bonuses owed to get the deal over the line.

Coutinho won't be on the breadline for too long as Nike – who make Barca's kit - are going to increase his wages for being a brand ambassador.

Coutinho's entourage have been working away to get the deal done since the summer when the first moves were made but Liverpool dug in and retained him for an extra five months.

The Brazil star is expected to have a mammoth £445m release-clause fee, which are often little more than a PR stunt in Spain.
