PHOTOS: Barcelona unveils Phillippe Coutinho at Camp Nou


Barcelona on Sunday, unveiled Philippe Coutinho at Camp Nou after they completed a £142million move for the former Liverpool star.

The Catalan giants are reported to have agreed on a deal worth up to £142million with Liverpool to bring the Brazilian playmaker to Camp Nou after a series of bids failed in August.


Coutinho will be formally unveiled on Monday, with a photo shoot on the Camp Nou pitch to be followed by a press conference.

But Barca offered a glimpse of Coutinho in Barcelona colours in a video posted to the club’s official Twitter account after Sunday’s home win against Levante.

The 25-year-old then sent a message to his new club’s fans ahead of Monday’s formalities.

“Hi Barcelona fans, I’m already here,” Coutinho said. “It’s a dream come true and I hope to see you tomorrow.”

Without Coutinho, Barca beat Levante 3-0 to stretch their cushion at the top of the LaLiga table to nine points, with Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Paulinho on the scoresheet.
