Philippe Coutinho, the Liverpool playmaker, has denied any knowledge of an offer from Paris Saint-Germain.

The 23-year-old is currently on international duty with Brazil at this year’s Copa America and scored a hat-trick in his side’s 7-1 win over Haiti on Wednesday.

Coutinho’s man-of-the-match performance followed reports that the Ligue 1 champions had lodged an initial and unsuccessful offer of £23m for his signature.

However, while speaking to reporters after the Seleção’s emphatic win, Coutinho claimed that he was not aware of any bid.

“As far as I know, there’s no offer,” he said. “I’m here with the national team, this subject is for my representatives.

“More important for me is to be here, focused on the national team and having a good tournament. That’s where my head is.”

It came after half-time through Ian Rush, before Craig Johnston gave the red half of Merseyside the lead. Rush rounded things off seven minutes from time.

It has not quite turned out that way but that should not detract from the then-Liverpool captain’s performance, particularly that superb last-minute equaliser – probably, on balance, the best goal of his Anfield career.

Folklore says the noise from Anfield could be heard from three miles away when ‘Super Sub’ sent Bob Paisley’s team on their way to a first European Cup. Getty Liverpool's greatest comebacks Liverpool 4 Newcastle United 3, Premier League, 3 April 1996 Thanks to ‘Collymore closing in…’ and Sky Sports penchant for self-promotion, this game has become the default answer when people ask for the best there’s ever been since the Premier League’s inception. Has there been better since? Maybe, but Martin Tyler’s famous line and that image of Kevin Keegan draping himself over an advertising hoarding like a wet bedsheet on a washing line have rightly become iconic. Getty Liverpool's greatest comebacks Liverpool 3 Olympiakos 1, Champions League, 8 December 2004 Rivaldo’s splendid free-kick just before half-time left Rafael Benitez’s men needing three goals to qualify from the group stage. Two came from unlikely sources – Neil Mellor and Florent Sinama-Pongolle – before the outstanding individual moment of Steven Gerrard’s career made Anfield (and Andy Gray) erupt.

Benitez’s squad could not hold a candle to their 1970s and ‘80s equivalents but led by Steven Gerrard, inspired by Jamie Carragher, held together by Sami Hyypia, strung together by Xabi Alonso and, ultimately, saved by Jerzy Dudek, they emerged victorious from an incredible final. 3-0 at half-time, 3-3 by full-time and you know the rest.

The Brazil international, who has also attracted interest from Barcelona in recent months, has four years remaining on his contract with Liverpool and has never claimed to be unhappy at Anfield.

"Philippe is extremely happy at Liverpool," said Kia Joorabchian. "He signed a new long term contract towards the end of last season that represents his ambition and his feeling for Liverpool.

“Reports that I have been talking to Real Madrid about Philippe are not true. His aspirations are to qualify for the Champions League with Liverpool this season and to win a trophy. That is all that he is focussed on – and nothing else."
