Barcelona ace Coutinho WANTS Liverpool loan move

Barcelona ace Philippe Coutinho WANTS a move to Liverpool this summer.

Coutinho has given his backing to an offer from Liverpool to take him on a two-year loan with the option to buy at £88million, according to Calciomercato.com.

Coutinho's agent Kia Joorabchian has already hinted that the Brazilian would find it difficult to play for any other Premier League club than Liverpool, who he left to join Barcelona for £142million in January 2018.

Joorabchian said: "I think Liverpool lies very, very deeply in his heart, he was a big fan of them throughout the campaign [last season].

"He was wishing for them to win the title and he has a very strong affinity there so I think it will be very difficult for him to go to a direct competitor of Liverpool from a personal standpoint."
