Barcelona target Phillipe Coutinho has told Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp that he wouldn't play for the Reds again
Even at the risk of losing the opportunity to play the World Cup, the Brazilian midfielder has decided to play in Barca and will force Liverpool to let him out.
After formally handing in the transfer request to Liverpool on last Friday, which already used a harsh tone demanding the club to sit down to negotiate with Barca and let him leave, the Brazilian midfielder has taken one step further.
Mundo Deportivo claimed that Coutinho has already told his coach, Jürgen Klopp, that he does not want to wear the Liverpool shirt again.
The Canarinha international, who arrived in Anfield in January 2013 and has played 180 games in his five seasons with 42 goals, believes he has always been honest and has shown his respect for Liverpool. That is why, after having first asked formally and amicably, Coutinho has raised the pitch and is willing to stay on the stand all season if the club does not facilitate his departure.
The Catalonian media also pointed out that not playing against Hoffenheim in yesterday's UCL play-off clash was his first warning to Liverpool.
Could a move be finalized soon?
