Liverpool have reportedly sealed the transfer of Inter’s Philippe Coutinho.

The Reds have already had a bid of €8 million rejected by the Nerazzurri, and also had competition from Southampton for the Brazilian.

According to Sky Sport Italia, Inter have accepted a €13 million offer from Liverpool and the player will fly out to England on Monday to complete his medical.

Despite the transfer all but completed, Liverpool must secure a work permit for the player who has featured just once for Brazil in his career.

Coutinho has been at Inter since 2010 and has found it difficult to break into the first team of late, with eight of his 12 appearances coming from the bench this season.
