According to "PSG: révélations d’une revolution” named book, Liverpool had offered Philippe Coutinho and €70m deal to Real Madrid to get Gareth Bale.
Last summer Coutinho was targeted by both Barcelona and Real Madrid, but stayed in the club and moved to Catalan side only in January. That time Florentino Perez was confident on Killian Mbappe's signing, but the latest surprisingly moved to PSG and Perez was no longer able to discuss the possible deal with Coutinho/Bale replacement.
