Fc Barcelona wanted to offer Liverpool Arda Turan to strike a deal for Philippe Coutinho
The Turkey international has struggled at the Nou Camp since arriving from Atletico Madrid three years ago, and has spent much of his time in Catalonia stuck behind the likes of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez in the pecking order.
And Spanish outlet Don Balon claim Barcelona want to use him as a negotiating tool in a bid to land Philippe Coutinho.
However, he has told the club he is not interested in a move to Anfield.

Klopp's men return to the Champions League this season after a two-year absence, with their top three four finish last season a huge achievement.
But Turan wants a move to one of Europe's elite - something the player does not deem Liverpool to be.
Barcelona will now have to change tact if they want to lure Coutinho to La Liga.
