Liverpool and Southampton battle it out for Inter Milan star Philippe Coutinho
LIVERPOOL were last night poised to table a renewed offer for Inter Milan winger Coutinho.
But Southampton offered £12million for the Brazilian, who spent time on loan at Espanyol with new Saints manager Mauricio Pochettino.
Liverpool believe Coutinho, 20, would prefer them, and would pay £6m of a £8m fee up front.
