Liverpool have a mixed record when it comes to selling players to Barcelona. When Javier Mascherano and Luis Suarez forced exits in 2010 and 2014, the Reds, not yet the dominant force they would emerge as under Jurgen Klopp, would bank just £17.25m and £65m respectively as the pair left for the best team in Europe.
In seven and a half years at Camp Nou, the Argentina legend would make 334 appearances as he helped the Catalans win five La Liga titles, two Champions Leagues, five Copa del Reys, two FIFA Club World Cups, two European Super Cups and three Supercopa de Espanas.
Meanwhile, Suarez would become Barca’s third-highest all-time scorer in his six years with the Catalans, netting 198 goals from 283 appearances as he won four La Liga titles, the Champions League, four Copa del Reys, the FIFA Club World Cup, the European Super Cup and two Supercopa de Espanas with the Spanish side.
