Liverpool 'open door to Philippe Coutinho return'

A report claims that Philippe Coutinho could yet be on his way back to Liverpool this summer as the Reds are willing to give the Barcelona playmaker a second chance.

Liverpool are reportedly open to the idea of welcoming Philippe Coutinho back from his underwhelming spell with Barcelona.

The Brazilian playmaker only swapped Merseyside for Catalonia 18 months ago in a £142m deal, which he described as a "dream" move at the time.

Coutinho has struggled to hold down a regular starting spot, however, and he has refused to rule out a move away from Camp Nou this summer.

Paris Saint-Germain are considered the favourites to sign the 27-year-old, but Le10 Sport suggests that Liverpool are also in contention to land his signature.

The Reds are said to be willing to give Coutinho a second chance as they feel he can add to their current squad, which fell just short in the Premier League title race last season.

A recent Sports Mole poll found that 56% of Barcelona supporters think Coutinho should find a new club.
