Liverpool are considering a sensational swoop for Philippe Coutinho in the January transfer window, according to reports.
The Reds sold the Brazilian to Barcelona for a club-record fee of £142m in January 2018.
That proved to be a masterstroke from Liverpool, who had paid just £8.5m to buy the attacking midfielder five years earlier.
Coutinho's signing has been disastrous for Barcelona, whose finances are in a dire situation after a period of heavy spending in recent years.
Finding a buyer for Coutinho has hitherto proved difficult, though, with the former Liverpool star earning well in excess of £300,000 per week at the Camp Nou.
There is not really a natural place for him in Klopp's 4-3-3 formation and the Reds would surely prefer to sign an up-and-coming player.
There are also doubts over Coutinho's ability to perform at the highest level given his level of performance over the last four years.
