We round up the latest Liverpool transfers rumours from around the British and European press on Tuesday, August 22.
Is the Philippe Coutinho transfer saga over for this summer?
The Liverpool Echo say Barcelona have "admitted defeat" after seeing three bids rejected, and will now will have to spend the proceeds of the Neymar sale elsewhere.
It is reported that "no sum of money would have prompted a change of heart" from Liverpool.
In Spain, meanwhile, it is claimed Lionel Messi scuppered Coutinho's chances of moving to Anfield.
Don Balon say Messi did not want to see Ivan Rakitic or Sergi Roberto move the other way as part of a potential deal for Coutinho.
Another Spanish outlet, Diario Gol, say Liverpool are interested in Real Madrid's Mateo Kovacic.
The Croatian is down the pecking order at Real and would apparently be keen to move to Anfield.
Chelsea are prepared to play a waiting game over Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk, according to the Daily Telegraph.
Liverpool have been linked with a move for Van Dijk, but the Telegraph claim Chelsea hope a "soft approach" will put them first in line if Southampton decide to sell.
