Whilst on the surface the club appear to be standing very firm on Coutinho, I would bear a few things in mind:
– The relationship between Klopp & Coutinho has allegedly been strained for the last 6 months.
– Klopp likes his players to be fully committed to the cause, not to mention he has his tough training regime, that not every player will love.
– Barcelona / Madrid is always the dream ticket for South American players, can Coutinho be sure the chance will come up again next year?
– During interviews Klopp is now immediately deflecting questions about Coutinho to the owners, saying it’s in their hands, not his, i.e. he seems to be distancing himself from Coutinho.
I think this will go down to the wire, I’d expect another bid from Barca. It could be a hell of a deadline day, with big business both ways.
