Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona: Jurgen Klopp avoids talking transfer as Liverpool win

JURGEN KLOPP is keeping his thoughts to himself on Philippe Coutinho's Liverpool future.

Coutinho has been heavily linked with a move to Barcelona, who are in need of a replacement for Neymar, who joined Paris Saint-Germain in a world-record deal worth £200million.

Barca have already submitted three bids for Coutinho, but all of them have been rejected.

Express Sport understands Barcelona are prepared to go as high as £138m for the Brazilian playmaker.

However, it is understood any forthcoming offers will be rejected.

Klopp has insisted so far that Coutinho, who has been out of action with a virus, is not for sale.

And he repeated his stance earlier this evening.

He said: "There is nothing else to say.

"It's not that I don't want to talk about it, I just have nothing to say."

Despite the Coutinho saga hanging over Liverpool, they managed to secure their return to the Champions League with a 4-2 win over Hoffenheim.

Liverpool will now take their place in the draw tomorrow along with Tottenham, Manchester City, Manchester United and Celtic in the group stages.

It will be the first time since the 2014/15 season that they are back amongst Europe's elite.
