La
Liga giants Barcelona are confident on signing Liverpool star player Philippe
Coutinho, according to SkySports.
Liverpool
playmaker Philippe Coutinho has been linked with a move away from Premier
League for the past few months.
Barcelona
started taking strong interest especially after Paris Saint Germain link with
Neymar for a record move.
The
reports have suggested that Barca will sign Coutinho if Neymar decided to
leave.
Liverpool
boss Jurgen Klopp is reluctant to sell Coutinho as he is eyeing for trophies in
the coming season. Liverpool are keen to keep Coutinho especially because they will be
taking part in the Champions League next season.
SkySports believe
that Barca will offer around £89million which will be enough to convince the Liverpool representatives
to sell their star man. Liverpool have previously rejected their £72m offer for
the 25-year-old.
The
Brazilian has a dream to play for Barcelona and especially replacing Neymar
would attract him further.
Coutinho
has become one of the best attacking midfielders in the Premier League in the
last few seasons. The
former Inter Milan attacker has made more than 180 appearances for Liverpool, scoring
42 goals in all campaigns.
Now
it all depends on PSG whether they will seal Neymar's deal this summer or not.
