Liverpool forward, Philippe Coutinho is set to make his desire to leave the club public.
According to DailyMail UK, Barcelona are preparing a fourth bid of £138 million for the player.
This has increased fear inside Liverpool that the playmaker is prepared to go public in his efforts to leave.
The newspaper reports that Barcelona attempted to persuade Liverpool delegation to sell Coutinho at Thursday’s Champions League draw, and believes the Brazilian’s absence from Liverpool’s lineup is an advantage.
The Reds had hoped that booking a place in the Champions League group stage might convince Coutinho to stay at the club.
But the 25-year-old Brazilian international is still adamant he wants to go.
According to the report, there are concerns for Liverpool that if they reject Barcelona’s latest offer, Coutinho will go public by talking to the press about his frustrations at the club.
