Reds legend Graeme Souness offered advice for his former club with regards to Philippe Coutinho, suggesting that Liverpool should sell the wantaway Brazilian, during an exclusive interview with talkSPORT. Despite that investment, Barcelona are still being tipped to make a final push for Coutinho before the current window closes.

The Reds have added AS Roma winger Mohamed Salah, Chelsea teenager Dominic Solanke and Hull City defender Andy Robertson to their squad.
Instead they fight an unnecessary fight which has become critical at this late stage against a club who are desperate too. It makes no sense [to rush him back]. And Coutinho was evidently sweet on a move.
