The Brazilian has flattered to deceive since making the £142million switch from Merseyside in January 2018. Liverpool did everything they could to keep Coutinho, but Jurgen Klopp was forced to concede defeat five months after rejected three bids from Barcelona. The German revealed the decision became easier for the club once they realised that there was “no chance” of keeping him committed until the end of their campaign. But now, just 14 months on from what was described as Coutinho ‘childhood dream’ move, the La Liga giants look as if they’re preparing to cut their losses on their record signing. According to ESPN FC, sources at Barcelona have told them that they’ll be willing to sell the 27-year-old this summer if they receive an offer in excess of £90million. “Barcelona do not have a firm offer from any club at this point, but some have expressed an interest in the player,” a source at the club told them. “Key people, who are either directly or indirectly linked with various clubs have been following the situation closely.” While Manchester United and Chelsea have been linked since January, it’s likely that Liverpool will be the frontrunners for any potential return to the given that he’s a former Anfield favourite. Hypothetically, the move would make plenty of sense for the Reds considering they’re still yet to replace his magic in midfield. Draws with Leicester, West Ham, Manchester United and more recently Everton has seen the title race fall out of Liverpool’s hands and perhaps surprisingly, it was their fortunes in front of goal that cost them. With Mohamed Salah without a goal in seven matches and a lack of invention from midfield, Klopp’s team were lacking the creative spark that Coutinho once was. If Nabil Fekir’s proposed transfer from Lyon hadn’t of collapsed last summer, things may have been different. But there is now still a space at Liverpool for an attacking midfielder which will surely be high on their priority list when the window reopens.  The finances also add up for Coutinho’s return, if they were willing to fork out £90m it would see them overturn a profit of £52m from his sale. That’s a large proportion of Alisson’s £65m fee and it easily covers what was paid for Fabinho from Monaco. But beneath the fantasy of a sensational return lies something much more important. Klopp places huge value on character and squad harmony and to him, Coutinho chose to leave all of that behind. While second chances can happen in football, this Liverpool side have evolved leaps and bounds since they started life without him. They have reached a Champions League final and could do it again this season, while they are also firmly in the hunt of their first title. Klopp called it, way back on the final day of the season in May 2017 vs Middlesbrough, he was pressed for clarity on Coutinho’s long-term Anfield future. “Stay here and they will end up building a statue in your honour,” h

Sebastian Vella says:

COUTHINIO WAS A GOOD PLAYER FOR US, BUT HE KEPT THE BALL WAY TOO LONG AND SLOWED OUR GAME. SELLING HIM WAS A BLESSING IN DISGUISE. IF WE CAN KEEP OXLADE-CHAMBERLAIN FIT IT WOULD BE A GREAT ADDITION TO OUR MIDFIELD AND A FULLY FIT OX IS REALLY FAST. ALTERNITIVLEY WE COULD DEVELOP FURTHER WOODBURN INTO THE POSITION ONCE OCCUPIED BY COUTHINIO.

No way we want coutinho back we are a better team without a player that thinks he’s bigger than the club plus he likes to fake injuries

Emmanuel Andre says:

Fuck him now hes need to regret

O Z says:

If he wants to come back because Liverpool won the Champions Cup then he must not return.But if he admits he was stupid and made a stupid decision and is willing to be a reserve then they should think about it. Especially some of the players might be bought by other clubs for the next season.If he returns he would be the prodigal son.But also the fans should have a say and if Coutinho isn't accepted then so it is.He should learn from Hazard,but he needs to get his shit together or else he will and up like Kleberson because he ain't playing Good since he left Liverpool.Maybe Chelsea will take him and help him if he doesn't get back to Liverpool.
