Barcelona want Philippe Coutinho to force move away from Liverpool as £90m bid is rejected

Barcelona want Philippe Coutinho to force move away from Liverpool as £90m bid is rejected

Coutinho is understood to be open to the prospect of moving to the Nou Camp - but is unlikely to go unless he pushes the issue

Barcelona are urging Philippe Coutinho to help force a move away from Liverpool after having a second bid for the player rejected.
The Spanish giants bid €100m (£90.2m) for the playmaker but it was rejected out of hand and Barca fear the Reds will hold firm in their stance that the Brazilian is not for sale at any price.
Sporting director Robert Fernandez is willing to be patient in his pursuit of Coutinho and the club do appear to have a misplaced confidence that this deal will get done when it is becoming increasingly obvious that Liverpool are ready to shut down any attempt at opening talks. The €100m offer would have made the Brazil international one of the most expensive players of all time but the Reds wasted little time in turning down Wednesday's bid.

As the parties return to the seven polling units in the four local councils that will finally decide the election, it appears that it is not only PDP that wants Adeleke declared winner, anyhow. In the run-up to the electi...
