Angry Liverpool have flatly rejected a third bid for Philippe Coutinho and told Barcelona not to come back.

MirrorSport can reveal the details of the latest offer, made today with a headline figure of £119 million.

The true fee is a guaranteed £80m, with a string of improbable targets triggering further payments.

These ‘never-never payments’ would include Coutinho...

There is growing anger at Anfield at the Catalan club’s pursuit of the Brazilian, who has submitted a written transfer request that has also been turned down.

Despite receiving £200m in cash from PSG for Neymar in one single payment, Barcelona don’t appear to have the funds to make up-front bids for both Coutinho and their other main summer target, Borussia Dortmund’s Ousmane Dembele.

The Germans have turned down a bid of £90m for their striker, and have insisted they will not do business unless any approach reaches their valuation of around £140m…which would leave little room for manoeuvre with the Brazil star.

However, the Anfield board are aware that no matter how firm their stance, Barca are likely to continue their chase, and return within the next week with another bid, and Coutinho will continue to press them to accept.

The American owners though, have issued what they described as a “definitive” statement saying the player will not be sold at any price, and they will refuse to go back on that word given to the Reds support.
