Liverpool transfer news and rumours: Philippe Coutinho, Riyad Mahrez and Ben Woodburn

All the latest Liverpool transfer news and rumours from across the British and European press on Sunday, January 7.

Liverpool have announced a deal has been agreed for Philippe Coutinho to join Barcelona this month, for a fee Sky Sports News understands to be £146m.

Sky Sports News reported earlier on Saturday evening that discussions between the two clubs had been underway for several weeks, both the fee and payment schedules had been agreed and a deal was close.
Now both clubs have announced the deal, with Coutinho taking off on a private jet for Barcelona in the last hour before the transfer was confirmed, and a medical expected to be carried out on Monday.

Barcelona say that the Brazil international will sign a five-and-a-half-year contract, with a buyout clause of 400m Euros (£354.6m).

However, Liverpool are not interested in signing Riyad Mahrez as a replacement for Philippe Coutinho, according to Sky sources.
Although Reds boss Jurgen Klopp is in the market for a creative forward, similar to Coutinho, he is not now expected to swoop for the Algeria winger.

Sunderland have lined up a package to take Liverpool’s Ben Woodburn on loan for the rest of the season but the deal has been delayed because of Coutinho, according to the Mail.

Mohamed Salah’s recent injury has also held up the move, with Woodburn set to be reunited with former Wales boss Chris Coleman, who gave the 18-year-old his international debut in 2017.
