Barcelona give Liverpool deadline to accept Coutinho bid

There's claims Barcelona have set Liverpool a deadline to accept their latest bid for Philippe Coutinho.

Barcelona submitted a third bid for Coutinho on Friday, this time worth £118million.

The Brazilian, who sat out the 1-0 win over Crystal Palace yesterday, has been continually linked with a move to the Nou Camp and Ernesto Valverde has ramped up his interest in the wake of Neymar's transfer to Paris Saint-Germain.

And The Times reports the La Liga giants have informed Anfield chiefs they must accept the bid by tonight (Sunday).

Otherwise, the report adds, they will withdraw it and leave Coutinho alone.
