Liverpool: PSG set Coutinho price; £20million move for winger; Henderson and Matip updates

Metro, citing , believe that Paris Saint-Germain have made initial contact with Philippe Coutinho over a move to France in the summer as they see him as a ready made replacement for former Manchester United man Angel Di Maria. They claim that £61 million has been set aside in their attempts to sign the Brazilian.

It is unclear if the Reds would accept a move for that fee, but it seems unlikely given that he is a key component of the Liverpool side under Jurgen Klopp as he looks to build a fast and attacking team around the left sided forward.

However, a possible replacement may be moved for in the summer as Jurgen Klopp prepares to delay a move for Bayer Leverkusen winger Julian Brandt until the summer, claim the . Neither the German winger nor his club are keen to complete a deal mid-season, but may consider a summer sale.

The left sided midfielder has a contract until the summer of 2019 and has also attracted interest from Bayern Munich, so the deal may be a complicated one if it is an option that the former Dortmund manager decides to pursue to add depth out wide in the summer.

The  report that both Jordan Henderson and Joel Matip will rejoin the first team squad for full training from Thursday and are likely to be in contention for the trip to Old Trafford on Sunday as they recover from heel and ankle injuries respectively.

The duo are both key men for Jurgen Klopp, but it’s believed that the German is reluctant to rush them back and is unlikely to start Joel Matip after such a prolonged period on the sidelines, but Henderson may be considered due to Emre Can’s disappointing performances in midfield.
