Is Coutinho on his way back to Liverpool?

Liverpool have reportedly entered the race to sign Barcelona star Philippe Coutinho this summer.
There has been much speculation in recent weeks about a possible destination for Coutinho, with the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain all thought to be interested.
Liverpool were not believed to be keen on bringing him back to Anfield after their successful season without him last time out.
But, according to French news outlet Le10 Sport, the club are open to re-signing the 27-year-old.
Tierney bid rejected
Arsenal have had a £15m bid for Tierney rejected by the Scottish champions but are expected to return with an improved offer for the 22-year-old.
The Premier League outfit have also been rumoured to have offered four of their young stars in part exchange for Tierney.
Offering Carl Jenkinson, Jordi Osei-Tutu, Emile Smith Rowe or Eddie Nketiah could not tempt Celtic into agreeing to sell.
Celtic though are thought to be open to a deal for Tierney - but only if the price is right.
Perisic 'wants' Arsenal move
Inter Milan star Ivan Perisic is holding out for a move to Arsenal - but the Gunners don't look to be reciprocating the interest.

Perisic is valued between €30m (£26.8m) and €35m (£31.3m), according to FCInterNews.
The Italian publication claims West Ham, Leicester and Wolves are debating launching a bid this summer.
However, Arsenal is Perisic's preferred destination should he leave Italy.
