Barcelona have no interest in Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho.

That's the claim of Spaish expert Guillem Balague, who says Barca's priority is PSG midfielder Marco Verratti.

He told Sky Sports: "Coutinho to replace (Andres) Iniesta? No.

"Philippe Coutinho is obviously a very good player, but Barcelona does not want to recruit him. Barca is looking for a midfielder and Coutinho is more of an attacker.

"Verratti is the one they want, but he's too expensive for them."
