Transfer News! Coutinho Misses Liverpool Trip As Barcelona Talk

Liverpool’s Philippe Coutinho has not travelled with the squad for
a warm-weather training camp in Dubai as speculation intensifies
a renewed bid for the playmaker from Barcelona, reports said
Saturday.
Britain’s Press Association (PA) said the Brazil international,
currently sidelined with a thigh injury, was among a number of
first-team players who stayed behind on Merseyside.
Barcelona-based newspaper Sport reported Saturday that
Barcelona and Liverpool had agreed a deal in principle worth up
to 160 million euros for Coutinho to move to the La Liga giants
this month.
The Spanish league leaders had three offers for Coutinho rejected
in the summer.
Coutinho handed in a transfer request at the time in an attempt
to force a move but was unsuccessful.
The Brazilian has not played in either of the Liverpool’s matches
since the transfer window opened at the start of the month
because of a minor thigh problem but manager Jurgen Klopp
expects the 25-year-old to be fit for next Sunday’s visit of
Premier League leaders Manchester City.
The PA report said it was understood that Liverpool have not yet
received any approach from Barcelona for Coutinho in the
current window, which conflicts with reports emerging from Spain
on Saturday.
Liverpool have been linked with Leicester winger Riyad Mahrez,
one of a number of first-teamers left out of the team to face
Fleetwood in the FA Cup on Saturday.
However, the PA report said the Merseysiders had contacted their
Premier League counterparts to say they had no interest in the
Algeria international and the speculation was “complete
fabrication”.
