Barcelona beckons?

Well, well, well! Did you expect anyone else to top this list? After a host of "back issues" and transfer requests in the summer, Coutinho still could not force his way to sunny Spain. Though he has been extremely professional to carry a good run of form for Liverpool since September, it is a certainty that he is still longing for a move to La Liga.

Barcelona are reportedly thinking of putting in a £132 million bid for the Brazilian as soon as the market opens up and have started their daily tapping up missions to lure Coutinho next month. The likes of Andres Iniesta, Xavi and Luis Suarez have spoken about how Coutinho will be a perfect fit at the Camp Nou outfit and so on.

Jurgen Klopp has also looked uncertain when asked about Coutinho's future at the club whereas the player himself has avoided answering questions about his future. The Brazilian has had his mind turned due to the interest from Spain and it is only a matter of days before Coutinho may be seen for the last time in a Liverpool shirt.
