Liverpool playmaker, Philippe Coutinho, has officially handed in a transfer request.
According to Sky Sports, Coutinho is desperate to seal a move to Barcelona this summer and is tired of the Reds playing ‘hardball’ over the move.
Barca have seen two bids of £90m and £100m rejected by the Premier League side, who insists the 25-year-old is not for sale.
On Thursday, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, said the player was priceless.
“Liverpool is not a club that has to sell players. That is set in stone. So what they pay in the end doesn’t matter.
“From a financial standpoint, there is no price limit to let him go. No price at which we are ready to give in.
“Our goal is to have the best possible team. So we want to keep our guys and add new ones. That is our plan,” Klopp told Sky Germany.
The Liverpool manager added: “Today, no player on the planet is untouchable. But a transfer is also a question of timing and if you have the opportunity and the need to react to such a transfer.
“Also you have to ask, if you have the time to react. But just because of one request of one club, we don’t have to think about that. We are not in that situation.”
