Liverpool transfer news: Reds not interested in re-signing former star who is struggling at his current club

Liverpool are not interested in re-signing Philippe Coutinho from Barcelona, according to the Telegraph (h/t Metro).

The report adds that Coutinho is unhappy with his current situation at Barcelona, however, Liverpool are not looking to bring the Brazilian back and instead are looking to find new talent.

We are the current leaders of the Premier League sitting four points ahead of Manchester City. The Reds have a tough draw in the Champions League knockout rounds against Bayern Munich but with Klopp managing the side, we have a great chance of defeating the Bavarian giants.

Liverpool have several options in the middle of the park at the moment but we could do with a creative midfielder. The former Liverpool star has the ability to unlock defences and could come in handy in some of the tighter games.
