World's most expensive XI

Midfielder: Philippe Coutinho

Long overdue, Liverpool finally lets Coutinho join his dream-club.

Transfer: Liverpool to Barcelona.

Transfer fee: € 125 million

It was a case of 'History repeats itself' for Liverpool when they had to let go of their star-player to Barcelona. Long after Luis Suarez traded the English county for Spanish fields, Liverpool had an ideal replacement in the form of Phillippe Coutinho. An eye for the goal and excellent vision, Coutinho was the next big star in Liverpool's history.

However, as history goes, Liverpool had to bow down once more to the demands of their star player. Countless rumors and € 125 million later, Phillippe Coutinho joined the Spanish champions. Liverpool has since moved on with a certain Egyptian.
