LIVERPOOL (AFP) - Liverpool will offer supporters who bought shirts bearing the name of Philippe Coutinho a £50 (S$90) voucher to help offset the impact on fans of the Brazilian's move to Barcelona.
The 25-year-old star, who had agitated for a move away from Anfield since last summer, finally got his wish on Saturday (Jan 6) when the two clubs agreed a deal worth £142 million (S$255.7 million).
"The club is to offer supporters who bought a 2017-18 replica shirt printed with Philippe Coutinho's name and number a £50 voucher, once the move is completed," said a statement from Liverpool read.
"Supporters should present their 2017-18 Coutinho replica shirt at any official club store where the voucher will be issued. The shirt will not be retained but proof of purchase will be required."
