LIVERPOOL REJECT FRESH €125M OFFER FROM BARCELONA FOR COUTINHO AND MAINTAIN HE'S NOT FOR SALE
The 25-year-old submitted a transfer request last week and the Catalans made a third offer for the Brazilian, but the Reds will not sanction his exit Liverpool have immediately rebuffed a €125 million offer from Barcelona for Philippe Coutinho, reiterating their “definitive stance” that the player is not on the market this summer. It was the third formal proposal the Catalan club have tabled for the Brazil international, who submitted a transfer request that was rejected last week Friday. As with the previous bids of £72m and £90m, the Reds made clear their unwillingness to do business by refusing to consider the approaches as spelled out in a statement from Fenway Sports Group. The Merseysiders insist, as per that strong message from the owners, that the 25-year-old will “remain a member of Liverpool Football Club when the summer window closes.”
