Barcelona want to sign Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho
Barcelona are desperately searching for a new striker as Neymar nears his exit.
The Brazilian is expected to complete his £199million switch to Paris Saint-Germain by next week.
Barca have demanded the French club pay the transfer fee up front and they will then go on a spending spree to replace their lost star.
Coutinho and Dybala have both been linked with the Nou Camp side.
But Italian newspaper Tuttosport claim Barca have decided to push for Brazilian Coutinho after Juventus made clear their determination not to lose Dybala.
The report also claims a move for Torino's Andrea Belotti is off the cards, with the Turin side ruling out doing business this summer.
Express Sport understands Liverpool have already rejected a £72m offer for Coutinho.
But reports in Spain claim the 25-year-old is open to a move to Barca, where he would play alongside fellow South Americans Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.

Losing Coutinho at this stage of the summer would be a big blow to Liverpool and manager Jurgen Klopp has no intention of letting their star playmaker leave.
But Tuttosport claim Barca are pushing ahead with a new offer regardless of Klopp's stance.
As for Neymar, the 25-year-old arrived in the Portuguese city of Porto yesterday for his PSG medical.
