Liverpool have reportedly joined Chelsea in the race to sign Inter Milan star Ivan Perisic.

Perisic could leave Inter after shining in Serie A this season.

Philippe Coutinho looks set to stay at Liverpool

Journalist Guillem Balague believes Barcelona will not be buying Philippe Coutinho.

Coutinho has regularly been linked with a move to the Nou Camp throughout his time at Anfield.

But Balague cannot see a transfer materialising due to the fact the La Liga giants do not need him.

“I don’t think so," he said when asked about Barcelona's reported interest.

“There has been no real interest from Barcelona for the Liverpool forward.

“I know Rivaldo has spoken about it but it doesn’t make sense because they see him as a forward and the front three will be the front three next season.”
