However, Liverpool are in no mood to sell and have reacted by sticking a whopping £134m price-tag on the midfielder.
Spanish newspaper Sport claim the Reds have increased the asking price in the hope of scaring off Barca.
The Catalan side are reportedly only willing to pay in the region of £70m for the former Inter Milan star.
Barca have already been priced out of one deal this summer, giving up on their pursuit of Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Marco Verratti.
And Liverpool are hopeful their hardline stance over Coutinho will have the same effect, keeping him at Anfield.
