Liverpool increase Coutinho asking price after Nike Online Saga

Liverpool are now set to demand for an astronomical fee for Philippe Coutinho before they consider selling him to Barcelona following a gaffe which saw Barca’s shirt manufacturers Nike advertised the club’s jerseys which has the Brazilian’s name on it, according to the Telegraph.
Barcelona still believe they will land Coutinho and their presumption they will sign the playmaker in this transfer window may have prompted Nike – who not only provide the club’s kits but have their own sponsorship deal with Coutinho – to announce his imminent arrival at the Nou Camp.
They displayed an advert on their official online store on Saturday evening urging fans to purchase their Coutinho jersey for the remainder of this campaign.
It read: "Philippe Coutinho is ready to light up Camp Nou. Get your 2017/8 FC Barcelona kit with the Magician's name on it. Act fast - free personalisation only available until January 6."
The promotion – linked via Barcelona’s own website – was removed within an hour. Despite the advertisement, it was not possible to buy the jersey.
Liverpool rejected three Barcelona bids for Coutinho last summer, the last of £115 million. The initial payment was just £86 million, woefully short of what it would take for the Merseyside club to even consider selling their star player.
