Reports in England claim Liverpool have rejected a third bid from Barcelona for Philippe Coutinho in the region of £114 million.
The La Liga giants have been in a desperate pursuit of the Brazilian playmaker following Neymar’s departure to Paris Saint-Germain earlier this month.
Barcelona have been relentless with their efforts to sign the 25-year-old but Liverpool have been just as reluctant to sell their prized asset.
The Reds rejected a £90m bid from the Catalans only last week with manager Jurgen Klopp growing increasingly frustrated with the interest in the Brazilian.

Massive statement by Liverpool rejecting such a huge offer for Coutinho. Interesting to see how the player reacts to this.
