(Reuters) - Liverpool fought "until the last second" to convince Philippe Coutinho to stay at Anfield but ultimately had no other option than sell him to Barcelona, Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp said on Friday.

After months of speculation, the 25-year-old Brazilian joined the Spanish club for 140 million pounds in what he described as his "dream move".
