Philippe Coutinho has supposedly been on the brink of a move away from Liverpool this summer, with La Liga giants FC Barcelona vying to snap-up his signature - but the Reds - according to Sky Sports' Guillem Balague - are not prepared to lose their supposed star man without a fight.
Without Coutinho being on the pitch, the Merseysiders have not necessarily missed the Brazilian's influence, and with new signings coming through the door at Anfield, it could be perceived by some that Liverpool would have been willing to part ways with their enigmatic number 10 after al - this appears not to be the case.
