Liverpool reject third Barcelona bid of 125 million euro for Philippe Coutinho
Coutinho will miss Saturday's match against Crystal Palace, said manager Jurgen Klopp.
English Premier League club Liverpool FC have rejected a third bid from Spanish club FC Barcelona for playmaker Philippe Coutinho, sources said on Friday.
Reports in British media put the latest bid at 125 million euros ($146.85 million), as the Spanish club continue to seek a replacement for Coutinho's Brazil team mate Neymar, who they sold to Paris St Germain for a world record 222 million euros earlier this month.
Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp has previously insisted that the 25-year-old would not be sold, although last weekend he said that if Liverpool's owners decided to accept a bid there was nothing he could do about it.
Coutinho will miss Saturday's match at home to Crystal Palace because he still has a back injury, Klopp told reporters on Thursday.
