Jurgen Klopp will refuse to sanction any deal allowing Phillippe Coutinho to replace Neymar at Barcelona.

It shatters claims that there is a price at which Liverpool are ready to do business this summer.

It also comes despite suggestions that the 25-year-old does want a move to Spain.

PSG are also interested in Coutinho but fear the Brazilian fancies a move to the Nou Camp.

Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu has told the club’s fans that European giants are “looking for alternatives” following Neymar's £198million move to Paris.

Klopp has maintained all summer that Coutinho is not leaving Anfield and that the Reds are no longer a selling club.

The German has the full backing of the Anfield board and the club’s owners, the Fenway Sports Group, who do not even want to negotiate.

As such, Liverpool are not for turning despite leaks to the Spanish media suggesting they are open to doing a deal.
