Klopp has been clear in his desire to keep Coutinho, who scored 14 goals in all competitions last season.
Coutinho has missed the first two Premier League games of the campaign with the club citing injury.
But once fit he is expected to re-join the team after holding talks with Liverpool.
Coutinho signed a new five-year deal in January to keep him at the club until 2022.
He said at the time: "I signed this new contract to stay here for a few more years because it’s a great honour for me.
“It gives me great happiness because I was welcomed here with open arms by everyone at the club and the supporters right from my first day. I am very thankful to this football club for everything.”
