Former Liverpool striker Craig Bellamy believes Philippe Coutinho must be sold to Barcelona this summer transfer window, feeling the player has his heart set on an offer that is too good to turn down.

The Brazilian playmaker has been the subject of two failed bids from Barcelona and is yet to play this season with what has been described as a back injury.

Barcelona have kicked off their campaign with two defeats to fierce rivals Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup ahead of the new season, and Ernesto Valverde is expected to launch a third bid worth around £100m for the playmaker.
