Philippe Coutinho has informed Liverpool he would like to leave Liverpool to join Barcelona. Liverpool fear they may now have to accept Coutinho's request to leave.

Liverpool rejected a £72 million bid from Barcelona for Coutinho last month.

Barcelona is now expected to bid €100 million for Coutinho.

With Neymar leaving Barcelona for Paris Saint-Germain, the club needs to improve their roster and have the financial means to do so for Coutinho.
