Liverpool bid to scare Barcelona with £133m Coutinho asking-price

    It is believed Liverpool have slapped a £133m price tag on Philippe Coutinho in a bid to scare off Barcelona.

    The Brazilian has been heavily linked with a move to Camp Nou this summer.

    Sources say the Catalan side have so far touted around £80m for the 25-year-old.

    The rumours come amid further speculation about the future of Neymar’s potential move to Paris St. Germain.

    Figures flying around suggest the Barcelona player could leave for a fee of just under £200m, smashing the £89m world transfer record set by Man Utd when they forked out for Paul Pogba last year.
