LIVERPOOL have re-iterated their stance that Philippe Coutinho is not for sale, according to Sky Sports journalist Dharmesh Sheth.

Philippe Coutinho has been heavily linked with a big-money move to Barcelona.
A figure of £90million has been bandied about, in terms of how much the Catalan giants will have to pay.
Recent reports suggested that the Reds believe Coutinho has already agreed personal terms with Barca.
But Sheth doesn’t think a deal is in the pipeline for the Brazil international.
“As Neymar looks likely to leave Barcelona the Spanish club are finding it increasingly hard to get a replacement,” Sheth said on Sky Sports.

“Sources at Anfield have reiterated the club’s stance once again today, Coutinho is going nowhere and he is not for sale.
“Coutinho has started tonight’s game against Bayern Munich.”
