Barcelona chief has provided fresh update on Philippe Coutinho's future at Camp Nou
| ||||||
The former Liverpool ace has struggled to settle at Barcelona following his £142million move last year winter and reports are suggesting the Brazilian could reunite with the Reds in the summer.
Coutinho was expected to quit the Catalan club in January after his name was added to the list of players that were opened to negotiations, Manchester United and Chelsea were also reported to have shown interest on the Brazilian.
The news came to the ears Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp last month and the German refused to rule out the move but Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu recently, has poured cold water on such speculations, insisting the Brazilian is not for sale.
Bartomeu told El Partidazo de COPE: "Are we going to consider the sale of Coutinho? No. It's a club bet.
"He plays differently, he knows how we play, we do not want to sell Coutinho."
Coutinho, 26, has only made 29 league starts for the La Liga giant since his arrival early last year.
