Last summer was dominated by the will-he-won’t-he saga involving Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho and Barcelona’s pursuit of the playmaker.
The season has now entered the January transfer window, and once again, the Brazilian is a regular feature on the back pages.
The Spanish media are convinced that Coutinho will be a Barcelona player before the month comes to an end.
Don Balon report that the deal could be signed, sealed and delivered within the next few days, with rumours bubbling that the fee could be in the region of £150m.
Liverpool were determined in their efforts to keep hold of the 25-year-old in the summer, but it seems that the club’s stance has not put off the Spanish giants.
After being refused a switch to the Camp Nou, Coutinho re-integrated himself back into the Liverpool team.
So far in the campaign, the attack-minded player has made 20 appearances in all competitions, scoring 12 goals and creating eight assists.
Liverpool fans have taken to Twitter after hearing the latest speculation surrounding their number 10.
Some are keen for Coutinho to stay put until at least the end of the season, while others express that they would not be torn apart if he left.
