The Liverpool star is wanted in Catalonia, with reports circling that he has agreed personal terms with the La Liga giants.

French journalist Mohamed Bouhafsi claimed yesterday that Barcelona had seen a second bid worth £89m rejected.

Coutinho featured for the Kop in their 3-0 win over Bayern Munich last night and Klopp doesn't appear to be concerned that he will leave.

And following the friendly victory, the German made his stance very clear.

Asked about Coutinho and Barcelona, he said: "They can save their energy."

After wrapping up their tour of the US, Barcelona are stepping up their efforts in the transfer market.

Earlier this week further reports from Spain said the move for Coutinho was not related to Brazil star's Neymar's future.

The forward has been heavily linked with a move to Paris St-Germain this summer in a stunning, world-record deal.

But Coutinho is not being identified as a replacement.

Barca want Coutinho and Neymar at the Nou Camp this coming season.

Ernesto Valverde is targeting other top young talent.

He also wants Borussia Dortmund's Ousmane Dembele and Monaco superstar Kylian Mbappe.
