Philippe Coutinho's agent, Kia Joorabchian, has played down talk of a return to former club Liverpool for the Brazilian and said that such a transfer would be a "very difficult deal."
Joorabchian spoke to Jim White at TalkSport (h/t Joe Moore) and said the Reds have a "tremendous squad" which would make it tough for the Brazilian to return to Anfield.
"So with the build-up they've done and the squad they have, it [signing Coutinho] would really have to be something they would have to decide whether or not they feel there is now a current gap in the squad for someone like Philippe.
