Liverpool legend: Something isn’t quite right with Coutinho

According to reports in Spain, the Liverpool man has already agreed a deal to join the Spanish giants and that is why the club is more confident on getting him.

Though, in a summer window of extremely high figures and big money moves, there is no saying for sure whether Coutinho will remain at Liverpool.

In fact, it is being reported by the Daily Mirror that Liverpool, in order to deter Barcelona, have slapped a price-tag of £133 million on the players head.

Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly set to trigger Neymar’s €222m release clause at Camp Nou and Barca could turn to Coutinho to replace the Brazilian forward.

But Jürgen Klopp is keen to keep his talisman at the club as they aim to improve on their fourth place finish last season.

Catalan radio station RAC1 said the South American star has informed his current employers and Klopp of his desire to leave Liverpool for Barcelona.

This preseason victory continues to reveal just how important Coutinho is to Jurgen Klopp’s side.

Arsenal refused to enter into discussions over right-back Hector Bellerin, 22, but Liverpool’s willingness to discuss Coutinho’s future offers hope agreement can be reached over a fee.

Liverpool will face Hertha Berlin at the Olympiastadion on Saturday in a game that will mark the 125th anniversaries of both clubs.

The Spanish giants have always been linked with a swoop for the Brazilian worldwide, and as seen below, the latest development is splashed right across Sport’s front page on Tuesday.
