You realize it now?????
It's been dead for weeks...
But not for next year...
What changed since this morning is that bookies now estimate Coutinho will more likely stay in Liverpool than sign for Barca.
Relax all just a matter of hours now
Liverpool have opened talks with Arsenal over a move for midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
The 24-year-old England international rejected a move to Chelsea on Tuesday after a £40m fee was agreed.
Oxlade-Chamberlain sees his future as a central midfielder and feels he is more likely to get that chance at Anfield.
It remains to be seen whether Liverpool are prepared to match Chelsea's offer for a player who would be available on a free transfer next summer.
Oxlade-Chamberlain has started each of Arsenal's four games so far this season despite telling manager Arsene Wenger he would not sign a new contract.
He was applauded warmly by the Liverpool fans after he was substituted during Arsenal's 4-0 defeat at Anfield on Sunday.
The midfielder has made 198 appearances for Arsenal since joining them from Southampton in August 2011.
Liverpool have been pursuing Monaco's £75m-rated winger Thomas Lemar, but it is unlikely they would sign both players.
