Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp dismissed speculation Barcelona star Philippe Coutinho could return to the Premier League leaders.
Coutinho has struggled to cement a spot in Barca s starting XI this season, having only arrived from Liverpool in a £142million deal last January.
The Brazil international has been linked with former club Liverpool as well as Premier League rivals Manchester United.
Asked about the rumours, Klopp told reporters: That is something I don t want to talk about. I would not say it is a potential transfer or a likely one.
Nothing to say. Whatever I say would open more stories and there is no story.
Phil is at Barcelona and as I know he fits really well and everything is fine.
Back at Anfield tomorrow, Reds

The highly-acclaimed victory, thanks to late goals from striker Lyndon Dykes and midfielder Kenny McLean, followed home wins against Cyprus and top seeds Spain in March.

Clarke’s side now prepare to face second-placed Georgia in front of a packed-out national stadium, where they…

That was the way of it when Nottingham Forest welcomed Liverpool at the City Ground on Saturday, with former Liverpool striker Taiwo Awoniyi netting the only goal of the game to being his new club vital three points.
Liverpool resurgence short-lived
Matches like this have been known to happen, so if observed as isolated event, it seems like small worry. But given the season Liverpool have had so far, to lose now to a team lying at the bottom of the table is an extremely painful blow.
Only Liverpool, many woul…
Brazilian-born midfielder Marcos Marquinhos is set to make his debut for Bulgaria in the crucial Euro 2012 qualifier against Montenegro next Saturday.
Marquinhos, the CSKA Sofia playmaker, has been playing in Bulgaria since 2006 but has only just gained his passport with national coach Lothar Mattheus the driving force.
Bulgaria, fourth in Group G behind England, Montenegro and Switzerland, have little hope of qualifying for next year s finals in Poland and Ukraine.
Marquinhos will be the second Brazilian to play for Bulgaria after defender Lucio Wagner, from Rio de Janeiro, played for the country from 2006 to 2009.
Wagner played for Levski Sofia for seven seasons.
Mattheus admitted the Balkan team s fate is no longer in its hands, as it is depe…
