Barcelona reportedly prepare an £80m bid for Liverpool attacker Philippe Coutinho amid suggestions that Neymar is heading for the Camp Nou exit.

Barcelona are reportedly lining up an £80m bid for Liverpool attacker Philippe Coutinho.

The Brazil international only signed a new five-and-a-half-year contract with Liverpool in January, but Barcelona have been strongly linked with a move for the 25-year-old since the transfer window opened last month.

On Saturday, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp insisted that Coutinho, who scored 13 times and registered seven assists in the Premier League last season, would not be leaving Anfield this summer.

However, according to The Mirror, Barcelona will test the Reds' resolve with an £80m offer, amid suggestions that Neymar is preparing to leave Camp Nou to sign a six-year contract with Paris Saint-Germain.

Coutinho, who joined Liverpool from Inter Milan in 2013, is currently with the Reds on their pre-season tour of Asia, while Barcelona are in the United States as part of their preparations for the new campaign.
