Liverpool are not interested in bringing him back... Barcelona don’t want to sell!
Guillem Balague
Reports in Spain last week claimed Barcelona are willing to sell Coutinho, providing a club is willing to pay at least £86m (€100m) this summer.
And Spanish football expert Balague has taken to his YouTube channel to discuss the Coutinho rumours, insisting the Brazilian will not return to the Premier League.
One fan asked: “Is it true Coutinho is on the market and what are the chances of him returning to Liverpool?”
Balague responded: “Liverpool are not interested in bringing him back.

“Barcelona don’t want to sell!
“There’s no intention to sell Coutinho. He has to improve, certainly, we haven’t seen his best version.
“But Barcelona don’t have the intention of selling him. That’s what they’re saying.
“I’m convinced that behind the stories is a real push to make him attractive to the Premier League in case Barcelona want to sell him.
“There’s been meetings with representatives in Barcelona and the conclusion is they’re not moving and Coutinho is very important to the side.
