BARCELONA are preparing a new offer for Philippe Coutinho but Liverpool won’t change their stance that he is not for sale.
That is according to La Liga football expert Guillem Balague.
He tweeted: “No changes on Coutinho. Liverpool don’t sell, FCB preparing offer, Catalan media being optimistic (without reason).”
Coutinho remains out of the picture at Liverpool with his future yet to be resolved.
The Brazilian wants to leave Anfield and is understood to be frustrated by Liverpool’s stance but Jurgen Klopp insists he is not thinking about the 25-year-old midfielder and is reluctant to moan about the situation.
“To be disappointed about different things, you need to have expectations,” Klopp said.
“I don’t have expectations, I don’t think about other clubs to be honest.
“We all have our own problems. If we think we have to do something, we do it.
“In this moment I would have preferred we finished our business six weeks ago. Let all the rest of the world do what they do. It’s getting more and more different and difficult.
“I don’t judge what other clubs are doing. I am not sure there was one easy day since we started preseason. Always something changes.
“All the discussions about Phil and then in the same moment Adam Lallana gets injured. It was like ‘what?’ I don’t think anyone can expect that we are prepared for this. The team have handled it all brilliantly so far.”
