Liverpool have rejected a £90m offer from Barcelona for midfielder Phillipe Coutinho.
According to The Telegraph, Liverpool are standing firm on their stance that Coutinho will not be sold, with this being the second offer rejected.
Barcelona had an offer of £72m rejected last month.
Barcelona have been heavily linked with a move for the playmaker with Neymar having left the club to sign for PSG.
Neymar completed a world-record €222m move to Ligue 1 side PSG last week, with Coutinho thought to be top of Barcelona’s wishlist to replace the star forward.
The 25-year-old scored 14 goals in all competitions for Liverpool last season, leading to interest from Barcelona.
Coutinho is currently out with a back injury, which heightened speculation that he was on his way out of Anfield.
However, that appears not to be the case as Liverpool attempt to keep hold of their prized Brazilian.
