Denis Suarez can play league matches then. He's not Coutinho but he ain't trash either. More than likely what I think happens is they do the deal now but Coutinho doesn't leave until the summer.

If liverpool had a single ounce of sense they'd wait till after the world cup. If coutinho puts great performances and wins the world cup with Brazil they can literally ask for 180-200 million. Kmowing how desperate barca are and how insane city and psg are with spending, one of them will actually pay that money. If i was on the board, I'd tell coutinho that you're not leaving in the winter, wait till the summer and fukk doing a pre deal now. Make that paper in the summer when his stock rises even further. The ball is in their court.

Coutinho out, Lemar in?


Coutinho to Barcelona ON as Thomas Lemar agrees to replace him at Liverpool

Liverpool are on the lookout for replacements for Barcelona-bound Philippe Coutinho and Lemar is their priority target.

With Barcelona ready to pay in the region of £133m for the Brazilian, Liverpool have been working on finding his replacement in the background.

According to Yahoo Sport, Liverpool have held talks with Lemar and the France international is keen on a move to Anfield.

Liverpool, along with Manchester United and Arsenal, were all linked with a move for the midfielder last summer but a deal failed to materialise with the Ligue 1 champions unwilling to sell.

Yahoo say the Reds now need to finalise a fee with Monaco before the move is done.

Journalist Duncan Castles says the Reds are willing to spend the cash on Lemar should Coutinho’s sale go through.

No, him and Vittolo are both starting out on the bench. Hopefully we see both of them at some point today though.

I don't think that Coutinho-Lemar deal is official yet, but that's what I think goes down in the summer. If that goes down and they sign a keeper like Oblak or Alisson and maybe snatch Goretzka away from Bayern's lure, they could challenge City next season.

Lmao at Lemar to Liverpool, Arsenal gotta be like :arsenalmj:

Nah, we used to Arsenal setting up deals for other teams.

Liverpool will still find a way to be Liverpool. No matter who they sign.

I mean, would you wanna knock in goals for fun for a CL club or struggle with a bunch of nice guys in the Europa League on a team that just lost their best player (Alexis)?

 

[THEREALBRAND]

2-0 lead at the half, it’s the perfect time to get Costa and Vittolo some game time without having the pressure to perform.

Came on scored a goal, picked up an injury, and went back out. That's real footy
