Shay Given believes Liverpool will already be planning for Philippe Coutinho’s departure from the club.
Coutinho has told Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp he won’t play for the club again, even if it costs him his World Cup place, as he tries to engineer a move to Barcelona.
The Spanish club are keen to sign Coutinho and Borussia Dortmund star Ousmane Dembele, but the Newcastle United goalkeeper insists Liverpool will be well prepared should the Brazilian move to the Nou Camp.
“They’ll have a lot of money to spend (if Coutinho leaves) and other clubs will know that as well,” Given told Sky Sports.
