Barcelona offered Andre Gomes to Liverpool as part of their summer bid for Philippe Coutinho.
The Daily Star says Barcelona offered Gomes as part of a deal for Coutinho in the summer.
The Catalan giants were desperate to snap up Coutinho but Liverpool stood firm.
As many as three bids were made for the Brazilian, including a player-plus-cash offer.
And the player in question was Gomes, although the deal was also rejected.
