Liverpool deliver clear Coutinho message to Barcelona

Barcelona chiefs are confident prising Philippe Coutinho away from Liverpool.
Sport says talks over a move to Catalonia for the Brazil international are already said to be at an advanced stage.
And it's suggested his game would suit Barca's style perfectly.
There are still over five years left to run on Coutinho's current deal with the Reds after he penned fresh terms in January.
But it's suggested Barca need only take the "final step" to complete a deal for the former Inter Milan star.

Barcelona ace Neymar is keen for the club to deepen their Brazilian contingent.

Don Balon says Neymar has felt isolated at times inside the Barca dressing room this season after the departure of Dani Alves, Douglas and Adriano.

Neymar's minders have spoken to Barca technical staff about the club's summer plans and have recommended three of the attacker's countrymen.

Flamengo whizkid Vinicius Junior, Liverpool ace Philippe Coutinho and PSG defender Marquinhos have all been put forward by Neymar's representatives.

Neymar is close to all three players, who are all under serious consideration at the Nou Camp.

Liverpool have made it clear to intermediaries that Philippe Coutinho is not for sale.
The Liverpool Echo says Liverpool will not countenance a move whatever the offer and indeed Barcelona were informed of that position several months ago.
Reports in the Spanish press have suggested that the Reds were in advanced talks with the Catalan giants on a possible deal for their Brazilian talisman this summer.
But Liverpool have made it clear to Barca representatives that the midfielder is not for sale.
Coutinho only signed a new five year deal at Anfield in January and the Reds enjoy a good relationship with the player and his agent Kia Joorabchian.
And both the player and his representative believe his long term future is at Anfield - a view very much shared by the Reds hierarchy.
