Report: Coutinho keen on Liverpool return

Barcelona playmaker Philippe Coutinho is reportedly open to returning to Liverpool this summer if his old club make an approach.

The Brazil international has hinted that he is keen on a move away from Camp Nou after failing to make much of an impact during his first 18 months at the club.

Coutinho cost Barcelona £142m to sign from Liverpool in January 2018 and the Spanish champions want to recoup as much of that fee as possible.

Jurgen Klopp's side have been tipped to re-sign their former player and, according to Mundo Deportivo, the 27-year-old is not against the idea of a return to Anfield.

It is claimed that Liverpool will only sign Coutinho for a significantly reduced price, however, and they also face competition from Paris Saint-Germain.
