Philippe Coutinho has asked Barcelona to make another bid
Reports this morning claimed Barca were lining up a £138m move for the Liverpool ace.
But the club have made it clear they will reject any offers even without having received the next one yet.
Barcelona are looking to improve their ailing squad before deadline day and have Coutinho as one of their top targets.
Spanish football Guillem Balague claims Coutinho has asked Barcelona to make this bid.
And they will despite knowing it will fail and that they can’t afford to pay £138m and still get their other targets.
“FCB are very aware LFC are not selling but have been asked by Coutinho to give it a last go. FCB don't want Coutinho upset for future,” Balague tweeted.
“Coutinho expects FCB 2 offer €140 but they cant afford him, Dembele,di Maria and Seri.So they putting efforts mostly on Dembele/di Maria
“The relevant people at FCB believe a new offer 4 Courinho won't be accepted by Liverpool.”
And Barcelona appear to be closing in on Di Maria but the deal for Jean Michael Seri is now dead after they failed to agree a fee with Nice.
