Barcelona will relaunch their bid to sign Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho when the transfer window reopens in January.

The Catalan club had THREE bids rejected by the Reds in the summer, with the third worth up to €130m, after the Brazilian handed in transfer request.

But the Premier League side refused to sell their key playmaker, with manager Jurgen Klopp and owners Fenway Sports Group insisted they would not be tempted by any price.

However, chief executive Oscar Grau has revealed the Spanish giants are now ‘ready to buy Coutinho’ after missing out on a number of targets in the summer.
