Philippe Coutnho will not consider a move to any Premier League side other than Liverpool according to agent Joorabchian

Coutnho has been linked with transfers to Premier League heavyweights, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United in recent months.
Manchester United and Liverpool are still open to signing the Brazilian this summer with Chelsea's unfortunate transfer ban sanctioned by FIFA.
But agent Kia Joorabchian believes if his client is to return to the Premier League it only would be in a reunion with the Reds.
Joorabchian told talkSPORT: "Manchester United is a great club, I have players there and I have all the respect for them, but as far as Philippe goes it would be an extremely difficult to a near-impossible move.
"It would be very difficult for Philippe to play for any of Liverpool’s rivals, because he has such a great affinity towards Liverpool. His time there was fantastic. His heart and affinity is very much with Liverpool.
"Liverpool have built a tremendous squad, the manager has a great balance there and it’s probably one of the best run football clubs in the country.
"So with the build-up they’ve done and the squad they have, [signing Coutinho] would really have to be something they would have to decide whether or not they feel there is now a gap in the squad for someone like Philippe.
"Obviously if he were to move back [to the Premier League], it would have to be Liverpool, but at the moment I think it would be difficult and it would be up to them."
