Football consultant Ian McGary has hinted the stance of Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp on the transfer speculations of former player and Brazilian international Philippe Coutinho ahead of the coming summer transfer window.

The Brazilian international only left the Anfield in the January winter transfer window of 2018 and he seems to be tired of staying at the club and wants a move away.

It did not go as plan for Philippe Coutinho as he was unable to glory in the Barcelona team which is why he was relegated to bench roles and that cannot be copped with by the star player.

• Why Liverpool target is encouraged to move

Philippe Coutinho is therefore reported to be linked with a move back to the Anfield while Man United are also reported to be keen to have him back to the Premier League as the Spanish giants seem to be willing to part ways with him.

The football consultant stated that there is no way manager Jurgen Klopp will have Philippe Coutinho back at the club because of his feeling that he already has a balanced team that can win trophies and compete.

However, this might just give a free run to Man United to capture him as long as they are ready to meet with the demands of the Spanish side.
