The cited media outlet assures that the attacking midfielder for Barcelona did not consider in any moment the proposal from Tottenham, which seemed to be the best, to join the club for the 2019-20 season.
Philippe Coutinho's stance remains firm: he does not want to play in the Premier League because he has a lot of affection for Liverpool. As a result, he will not play for one of their rivals, his agent said recently.
In this way, his decision remains clear and so Arsenal, another team interested in him, is also out. Coutinho will not return to England, since, in addition, the market closes this Thursday.
In the meanwhile, the uncertainity continues to rise at Barca. The Camp Nou had already made it clear by booing him in the Joan Gamper Trophy that he will have to go elsewhere.
Barca's demands are simple. The club that want to sign him will have to propose a loan move with a payment of 25 to 30 million euros.
