Liverpool transfer news: Barcelona record-signing Ousmane Dembele follows Reds star Philippe Coutinho on Instagram
The former Borussia Dortmund winger has fuelled speculation surrounding the Brazilian international's future at Anfield
BARCELONA'S record-signing Ousmane Dembele has fuelled speculation Philippe Couitinho will sign for the club after following him on Instagram.
The Brazilian star has been the subject of numerous bids from the Catalan club this summer, with Liverpool declaring he is not for sale at any cost.
However, with the close of the transfer window looming, the Reds seem to have caved, and are negotiating with Barca over a potential £148million deal.
And Dembele's recent social activity seems to suggest that a signing could be imminent.
He has followed a handful of Barca players since leaving the Bundesliga - including Javier Mascherano, Gerard Deulofeu, Paco Alcacer, Paulinho AND Coutinho.
The ex-Borussia Dortmund ace was brought in for a whopping £138m, and was presented in front of his adoring fans at the Nou Camp yesterday.
However he will be hoping his skills on the pitch improve after he embarrassed himself as he failed with his keepy-uppy skills.
Coutinho is currently on international duty with Brazil, with the national team's club doctor revealing he is fit to play.
