Klopp says no amount of money will force him to sell Coutinho despite knowing that Barcelona will not back off.

the problem is, if he wants out there's no point in keeping him. I like everybody else wants him to stay, of course we do, but should Barcelona really come in for him with a decent bid he's going to want to go there, its a matter of time imo, we will lose him in summer.

Harry, Liverpoolfc16 didn't say he wants Coutinho to leave. Maybe you just imagined it?

Everyone getting hysterical over Couts going to Barcelona or not. First off, the boy has never said he wanted out nor has he ever indicated nor implied it. Also, Barcelona have said nothing about it except via their players (who are his team mates with Brazil) or ex players like Ronaldinho. In fact, do people even realize the financial mess Barcelona is in right now? The Ed`s have said repeatedly that they would like to sell some of their top earners so they can revamp their squad BUT after giving stupid wages to MSN on their new contracts, where are they going to get the huge wads of money from to fund a HUGE transfer operation like Couts`? Or do people think that FSG and Klopp are just going to say, "Well, he wants to go so we`ll take whatever they give". He will ONLY leave on our terms and if he does, we will make this VERY painful for them and will stick them for every penny they have and won`t budge on the huge fee he will command. Not sure Barcelona is as desperate enough to get into all that for a player Like Couts, who won`t even start ahead of Neymar on the left, his preferred position (his words not mine) . And not sure if Couts (a very shy, thoughtful and respectful lad) wants to drag himself, his club and his family through all that stuff in the news and in the tabloids. moral of the story? Ain`t going to happen or at least, not yet.

{Ed002's Note - The club are aware of what Coutinho told three international team mates last season and are also aware that PSG, Barcelona and Bayern Munich have continued to have Coutinho watched. I understand that PSG will make an offer and that the player has been made aware of this and has spoken to a couple of players about PSG. Right now I would expect him to stay until the summer and then consider his options - but PSG may look for a January deal. I think offers in January from elsewhere are unlikely (as of this time). He is also aware of interest from Barcelona and one of the three he has spoken with is a Barcelona player. At the end of October his representative visited Barcelona to make clear that the player is open to a move there during 2017 and this re-enforces the recent comment from an international colleague that Coutinho has got Neymar to speak to Barcelona about him as well. Liverpool will try to avoid selling.}

Ed002 - surely the chances of PSG making a move without much else changing in their squad is now fairly small following the purchase of Draxler?

{Ed002's Note - They have a number of players that they will be moving on.}

Thanks for the info, Ed. I do remember you saying something like this in the past. I just feel that they may not be able to meet the asking price we will want due to their financial issues as they are except they improve on that front. Are they that desperate for him, Ed?

{Ed002's Note - Players are transient and come and go. Barcelona are looking to refresh and rebuild and will be making changes. They like Coutinho as I have explained.}
