da dobrowin： Liverpool fans will be going through all kinds of emotions today as the transfer saga involving Philippe Coutinho takes a few dramatic turns.
da wazamba： It has been widely reported that Barcelona are keen to secure the Brazilian’s signature, but Liverpool have been adamant that he is not for sale.
Today, the Merseyside outfit’s American owners Fenway Sports Group released a statement insisting that Coutinho will still be at the club once the transfer window closes.
Understandably, the supporters were very happy to hear this news, but it was short-lived as Sky Sports News later reported that the 25-year-old had handed in a transfer request.
However, according to Liverpool Echo journalist James Pearce, no such thing has happened.
Conflicting reports make the situation incredibly murky, but Liverpool’s statement this morning suggests that there is a very real interest in the player.
According to The Guardian, the Reds have already turned down two bids from Barcelona – one worth £72m and the most recent at £90m.
It seems that this transfer story is far from over, and Liverpool fans have been trying to digest the latest developments.
