Liverpool set £89m asking price for midfielder Philippe Coutinho?

A report claims that Barcelona have been told they will not land Brazil international Philippe Coutinho from Liverpool unless they offer £89m.

Liverpool are reluctantly willing to sell star playmaker Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona if his £89m valuation is met in full, according to a report.

The Catalan giants are already thought to have had one bid rejected for the Brazil international and are now preparing a second, which could be worth up to £80m.

Spanish outlet Sport suggests that Liverpool will knock back this latest approach, however, as they are holding out for an even larger sum for their influential midfielder.

Coutinho, currently a part of the Reds' pre-season tour squad, scored 13 goals and set up a further seven in another impressive Premier League campaign last time out.

Boss Jurgen Klopp is adamant that the 25-year-old will not be offloaded this summer, but the same report claims that Barca are not willing to give up their year-long pursuit, while also pushing ahead with a move for countryman Paulinho.
