Barca saw a £72m bid for Coutinho rejected in July, with Jurgen Klopp reiterating on Monday that the 25-year-old is not for sale at any price.

When asked if the playmaker was available for sale, the German replied: 'You formulate the question in a strange way. Where is the interpretation if you say he (Coutinho) is not available to be sold?

'The word "not" means there is nothing to interpret. It is nothing new from our point of view.'
