Both Catalan sport newspapers go big on Wednesday with Coutinho to Barcelona, but both also present alternatives in case Liverpool scupper the transfer.
There seems to be a constant Catalan media balance between confidence verging on cockiness and a realisation all the power is with Liverpool.
Mundo Deportivo state there’s a ‘double guarantee’ that Coutinho to Barcelona will happen in January. The first part is that personal terms have been agreed with the Liverpool player since the summer, so there’s a big tick from the Catalan newspaper there.
Secondly, it’s stated Coutinho has an agreement with Liverpool that he can move to Barcelona in January for a ‘reasonable price’.
See, all sorted, the ‘double guarantee’ assures everyone.
But, there’s a big BUT. It’s completely up to Liverpool what a ‘reasonable price’ is and, here’s a Sport Witness guarantee, what the Anfield want to get and what Barcelona think is reasonable 
will be different, at least to start with.
