Liverpool can't hold on to a player that is determined to leave.
It is hard to lose your best player and we've been there too with Ronaldo and Figo but life goes on. Coutinho stayed last summer and for what? CL is still there but Klopp failed to mount serious title bid.
They cannot hold him
eventually! they can hold him
for now if we don't pay the right price for him..
Things are very clear in today's market: If Neymar is worth 223 m, mbape 180m etc then Coutninho is worth
at least 150 m
The above fact the current lot that is managing the club refuses to see or willingly pretends not to be the case in order to cover their own gross and ugly incapacity.
The results is, in the best case, downplaying and irritating Liverpool with offers like the ones made in the summer, and, in the worst case, even the accusation of tapping up/unsettling the player and the other club with techniques that generate pressure like media fake stories and incidents like Nike's shirt
