Liverpool to consider all Philippe Coutinho options and expect Barcelona offer soon - Football News - Sky Sports

Liverpool have softened their stance and are now open to the option of selling Philippe Coutinho in January, according to Guillem Balague.

Barcelona had three bids for Coutinho rejected by Liverpool in the summer, the largest of which was worth £113m, but Balague says the La Liga leaders are now preparing a bid of £133m (£97.5m up front plus £35.5m in add-ons).

The Brazilian missed the trip to Burnley on New Year's Day, and may also be left out of the Merseyside derby in the FA Cup on Friday night.
