The 5 rediculouse conditions barca inclided in £118m offer for liverpool's fillippe coutinho

It would appear Liverpool's reasoning for rejecting Barcelona's bid wasn't just because they want to keep Coutinho.

As previously reported, Barca offered the Reds an initial £82.1 million and then £36.5 million worth of various add-ons.

In order to trigger the add-ons, Coutinho would need to hit targets set by Barcelona, which the Mirror have now revealed.

It turns out that Barcelona included no less than FIVE ridiculous conditions in order for Liverpool to be paid the full sum of £118 million - and they are:

• Coutinho winning multiple trophies in the same season

• Winning multiple Champions League titles

•Winning the Ballon d'Or as the world's best player

• Winning multiple trophies and the Ballon d'Or in the same season

•Payment of the basic £80m fee staggered over five years

It's no wonder Liverpool said no to Barcelona's offer. The Blaugrana have £198 million to play with following the sale of Neymar, yet they suggested staggering the initial £82.1 million over five years.

And then you have the silly targets they wanted to set Coutinho in order to trigger the additional payments, which Liverpool would probably never see. The cheek.
