Liverpool clause ensures Barcelona cannot sign their stars until 2020 without £90m premium

Barcelona cannot buy any more Liverpool players until 2020 unless they are prepared to pay a £90m premium on top of any transfer agreed, Sky Sports News understands.

The clause was negotiated by Liverpool's sporting director Michael Edwards during the £142m transfer of Philippe Coutinho to the Nou Camp in January.
It is an attempt to prevent the Spanish giants from poaching any more of Jurgen Klopp's talent in the near future.
