Barcelona push Liverpool to drop Coutinho price

Liverpool have set their asking price for Philippe Coutinho.

Coutinho remains Barcelona’s top transfer target for 2018, having seen Liverpool reject three bids for him last summer.

Don Balon says Liverpool are prepared to sell next month – but only for a price of £120m.

For their part, Barca see such a valuation as being too steep and are pushing Liverpool to drop their demands to closer to £80-85m.

The Catalans, should Liverpool refuse to budge, are willing to wait until the summer before revisiting the situation.
