Philippe Coutinho is close to a five-year contract extension with Liverpool.

Coutinho has been linked to a summer move with Barcelona.

Negotiations are understood to be at an advanced stage with an agreement close. Coutinho is expected to commit himself to Liverpool until 2022 and his new contract will not include a release clause.

Coutinho has been a major transfer success since his arrival for £8.5 million from Internazionale four years ago, scoring 34 goals in 163 appearances.
