Of course he doesn't want to play for Liverpool again, that's the whole intent behind a transfer request isn't it?

It's too much of a mess for Liverpool at this point, they should sell him to us and use the remaining time to sign a replacement.

Liverpool fans can delude themselves all they want, If there was any possibility that coutinho was going to accept his reality and move on from FCB interest, He would've gave up after FSG "not for sale" statement.
Him handing a transfer request, Means he made an irreversible decision and a clear indication he's willing to take this very far to get what he wants.
If liverpool has any sense in them, They'll be searching replacements for him now, Or studying taking a player of ours in the deal.

Remember even if the outlet itself is garbage, there's still Journalists on said website that does get real information from the source itself.

not quite sure how reliable Dominic King is for Liverpool news but I wonder if Coutinho's family is leaking stuff?

The papers are having a field day with the story and it will continue to unsettle the club, the fans and the dressing room, that's for sure. I don't think he'll go as far as Dembele did by skipping training. Just have to wait and see what happens next. I say we make an improved bid 115m and see how things go.

Klopp a while back:

"If a player comes to me and says he doesn't feel comfortable and wants to leave because of our style of play or because he can make more money elsewhere, then you always have to start thinking. That's all I can say on this.

"Coutinho, Firmino, so many players are very special. You could go through the whole squad. But if a player wants to go to another club then I'd always be open to it because I don't want to have a player in my squad who doesn't want to be in the squad.

"These are problems you don't need during a season. A player is never good enough for you to have to cope with problems like that for an entire year."
There were reports that coutnho during the last 2-3 weeks had told klopp that he wants to leave, On two separate occasions.
So it's either klopp is a hypocrite, Or the reports are wrong.
But judging by his transfer request, The reports were probably right.

players and agents have too much power these days, if a player wants out he'll get his move. its all posturing for the fans at this stage, theres no point in keeping an unhappy player. if Neymar didn't have a release clause and wanted the PSG move he'd still be gone.

hopefully we can wrap Coutinho and Dembele up fast and work on shifting some deadwood to possibly buy Seri

Dembele, Coutinho and Seri with Arda, Douglas, Rafinha/Denis leaving would be a great window and i'd be confident against any team.

You should email a copy of that statement to Klopp , courtesy of LFC website and / or their forum .

It may SHAME him into doing the right thing !!
