Barcelona midfielder Philippe Coutinho would jump at the chance of a return to Liverpool.
Mundo Deportivo reports Liverpool tried to land the Brazilian playmaker at a cut-price as Barcelona set about lowering their wage bill.
Coutinho is yet to speak out on the speculation, but his agent Kia Joorabchian has previously discussed a possible return to Liverpool and made it clear the midfielder would consider it.
Joorabchian told Sky Sports: "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."
