Liverpool transfer news: Philippe Coutinho's agent rules out summer move amid PSG and Manchester United links

Kia Joorabchian has dismissed rumours that the former Liverpool midfielder could leave the La Liga champions, after the Brazilian playmaker was linked with PSG, Manchester United and even a return to Liverpool

Philippe Coutinho's agent, Kia Joorabchian, has dismissed rumours that the Barcelona midfielder could leave the La Liga champions during the summer transfer window.

Coutinho is currently on national duty with Brazil, preparing to contest the Copa America final against Peru, and has been the subject of speculation regarding potential moves to Ligue 1 winners PSG, Champions League titlists and former club Liverpool, and even Manchester United.

Despite these rumours, Joorabchian emphatically denied that Coutinho could exit Barcelona this season.

"I talked a few days ago with Pep Segura at Barcelona," Joorabchian told RMC Sport.

"He told me that the club does not want to sell Coutinho this summer, no matter what."

Joorabchian also specifically ruled out a move to the French capital, stating: "We have not had any contact with PSG."

Coutinho spent five years at Liverpool before departing in January 2018 to join Barcelona, where he has won back-to-back La Liga titles.

Many have seen the Brazilian's 18 months at the Catalan club as underwhelming, however, with the midfielder's performances drawing boos from the Barca fans on numerous occasions last season.
