Philippe
Coutinho is prepared to make a public statement in a bid to force
Liverpool’s hand and sanction his sale to Barcelona, according to reports.
Liverpool have already rejected two formal bids from Barcelona and have preempted an impending third offer, likely to be in the region of £130million, by briefing that it will also be flatly rejected.
According to
Yahoo Sports, Coutinho has already notified Jurgen Klopp of his desire to leave Anfield on numerous occasions and cite a source close to the player who claims the 25-year-old is ready to go public with his dissatisfaction in relation to how is situation has been handled by his manager and owners FSG.
‘Coutinho is willing to say that Liverpool is making his life miserable and that he wants to leave,’ a source familiar with the negotiations told
Yahoo Sport. ‘He has been very patient, but at the end of the day it is his option as a player to leave the club – and he wants to do exactly that.’
'He's been very patient' - what an arse.
