Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool’s owners have assured him that the club won’t listen to offers for Philippe Coutinho this summer.

The Brazil international has been repeatedly linked with Barcelona with Catalan newspaper Sport claiming this week that the 24-year-old is keen to secure a move to Camp Nou.

However, the Reds boss, who joked that it would take a bid of £400million to sign the gifted attacker, has shrugged off the speculation.

Coutinho only penned a new £150,000 per week five-year deal in January and there is no buyout clause. Klopp is planning for the future with Coutinho on board.

Klopp said: “When did he sign his new contract? So that would be a nice idea. With a £400million clause! (laughs).

“There are absolutely no plans. What our owners say is there is the absolute opportunity not to sell anybody if we do not want to. That means we can bring in others players and it is a good situation.

“We have a stable squad with a good basis. We want to bring a few in with fresh blood, but nobody will leave us without our say so I am completely relaxed about this.”

Coutinho has always insisted he’s happy and settled at Liverpool. Earlier this week he was crowned Player of the Year by the Liverpool Former Players Association.

On accepting the award, he said: “I know the former players won a lot of things with his club and I hope that one day I can do the same.”
