Liverpool believe Philippe Coutinho has agreed personal terms with Barcelona - report

Coutinho, 25, has been the subject of intense speculation about a move to Barcelona this summer with the Liverpool star being lined up as a first-choice replacement for Paris Saint-Germain bound Neymar. 

The Reds are said to have already rejected an £72million bid from the Spanish giants for the former Inter Milan winger. 

But The Sun say Barca are ready to test Liverpool’s resolve again by lodging a bid in the region of £90m. 

It is said Liverpool believe their prized asset has already agreed personal terms with the La Liga side despite signing a new five-year deal in January. 

However, Jurgen Klopp has pleaded with Philippe Coutinho to stay at Anfield for at least another season.

The Merseyside outfit are preparing to compete for the Premier League title and a first Champions League campaign in three years. 

But if Liverpool fail to satisfy Coutinho’s ambitions next summer they club will apparently willingly negotiate with Barcelona over a transfer. 

The Sun say the Brazilian is open to Klopp’s proposal, but remains besotted by the prospect of signing for Barca. 

However, any developments on Coutinho’s future will hinge on PSG confirming a deal for Neymar. 

The Ligue 1 giants are supposedly expected to confirm they have paid Neymar’s £196m buy-out clause in the next ten days. 

Should Neymar seal a move to France and Coutinho replace him at the Nou Camp, Klopp will apparently move for Monaco winger Thomas Lemar.

But the German boss has once again reiterated that his prized asset is not for sale. 

"There is no other way to interpret it - he is not available to be sold," Klopp said in his pre-Audi Cup press conference in Munich.

"The word 'not' means there is no interpretation for that. It's nothing new, is it?"
