Liverpool board promise Jurgen Klopp every penny if Philippe Coutinho leaves for £130million in January

The Reds are bracing themselves for another move from Barcelona for the Brazilian

Jurgen Klopp has been told by Liverpool’s owners that he will be given all the money from the sale of Philippe Coutinho.

The Anfield club are braced for another £130million bid for Coutinho in January with Barcelona confident they can finally land the playmaker.

And all the money received will be given to Klopp for rebuilding – starting with Southampton’s Virgil van Dijk.

Liverpool are in desperate need of defensive reinforcements after some erratic displays which have seen the club fall off the pace in the title race.

Southampton will demand £70m for the Dutch defender but, if Liverpool give Coutinho the green light to go, that will trigger an immediate move for Van Dijk – and still leave cash spare to search for ways to replace the Brazilian star.

In the summer they were publicly adamant the gifted South American was going nowhere. And despite huge bids from Barcelona, FSG stuck to their guns and refused to give in even though Coutinho made it clear he wanted to leave.

Now though, after talks with Klopp, Liverpool’s position is less beligerent with the Anfield boss believing it’s no point holding on to a player who ultimately wants to leave.

BARCELONA will enrage Liverpool by continuing their pursuit of Philippe Coutinho as soon as the transfer window opens in January.
The Catalan giants were told in the summer that the Reds wouldn't welcome any more interest in the Brazilian play maker after rejecting three bids.

But he is still top of Barca’s winter wanted list and Nou Camp bosses believe that they can get their man for around £132 million with a down payment of £75 million.

That however is someway short Liverpool’s £176 million valuation but Barca are ready to play hardball over the fee knowing that they are the only buyers on the market.

Coutinho, 25, has set his heart on a move to Spain and has told Paris Saint-Germain that he isn’t interested in a move to the French capital.

He demanded a transfer request in a hope of pushing through the move but Liverpool stood firm and refused to do business.

They were hoping that Coutinho would stay at Anfield until next summer when they would reluctantly listen to offers for the star.

Coutinho’s agent Kia Joorabchian has been working hard behind the scenes to broker a deal and Liverpool will be furious that Barcelona are ready to make further bids for him.

If selling your best player is the way forward the likes of City and Chelsea would be looking to sell KDB and Hazard.

We did everything last year to finish 4th after a net spend of ZERO, Couts probably thought we'd buy some big names to play with this season .. and we bought no one! I don't blame him for wanting to leave, we showed zero Ambition in the transfer window and now it's showing in our league position.

Gomez will be loaned out and then sold on in a year or two. He has 2 seasons now with Klopp and struggles to get a kick in the first team so the writing is on the wall. I know Joe has had a few niggly injuries here and there but Jurgen still overlooked him in favour of Lucas and even Can at CH. If Klopp thought he was good enough then he would have played him and certainly wouldn't be considering loaning him out.
Once he goes out on loan that's him finished here imo which is a shame as he looked a decent player and a good defender.

Few niggly injuries? Gomez tore his cruciate ligament the week Klopp joined the club and then messed up his achilles last summer. He was in recovery for over a year and wasn't available to play. He's only really been available for games since the beginning of 2017. And sure, Klopp chose Klavan and Lucus over him on a few occasions, but that doesn't mean he has no future here. If we can bring in a centre back a loan move to PL club were he can play regularly at CB would be a great move. He is very inexperienced. Only played a couple of dozen games for Charlton and a few games for us.
