Philippe Coutinho could move to Barcelona in January, National Daily has gathered.

Liverpool are apparently contemplating the possibility of speaking about a possible transfer and would be more receptive to the idea of negotiating the departure of the 25-year-old.

Although Coutinho has been reintegrated into Jurgen Klopp’s first-team set-up at Anfield, the player’s camp are said to have informed Liverpool’s owners that he still wants to play for Barca.

The player and his agents do not believe that the fact that he would be cup-tied for the knockout stage of the Champions League would prevent him moving to Barca during the January transfer window.

Coutinho has already shown his worth to Liverpool on the pitch as he gets back among the goals.

He netted a stunning free-kick in the hard-fought 3-2 win at Leicester.
