Barcelona warn Liverpool star they will move for Dembele should his club hold up move

Barcelona have warned Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho that they will switch their focus to Borussia Dortmund’s Ousmane Dembele if his side attempt to block the move any further, according to The Sun via the Daily Star.

The 25-year-old has been linked with a move away to the La Liga giants for some time, and the club put their money where their mouth is this week by tabling a whopping £72m bid for the Brazil international.

The move could been seen as an indication of their man Neymar’s destination, with French club Paris Saint-Germain allegedly tabling a world record breaking 222m euro bid for the 25-year-old – a figure that would activate Neymar’s release clause.
And so Barca are eyeing up Merseyside favourite Coutinho as a possible replacement for the move.

Reds manager Jurgen Klopp recently stated that he does not want the player to leave, and so if Coutinho did want the switch, he would have to force it through.
