The tug-of-war between Barcelona, Liverpool and Coutinho could be coming to an end with two possible outcomes. Spanish Sky Sports journalist Guillem Balague, among others, revealed that the La Liga outfit have decided on a time to withdraw their offer.
According to said source, Barcelona will wait until 19:00 GMT+1 on Sunday, about an hour before their La Liga opener against Real Betis, to receive an answer from Liverpool regarding the latest offer made for the Brazilian, which could reach 130 million euros with certain add-ons depending on targets.
If Liverpool turn down the bid, Barcelona would remove it completely, though the Reds are not intent on responding to approaches from the Camp Nou. Barcelona are playing with the fact that the 25-year-old playmaker wants out of Anfield and his situation in Klopp's team may be irreversible.
The Premier League side are not planning to meet the Catalans at the event for the Champions and Europa League draws, where Barcelona are hoping to seal the deal. The draw will be attended by Liverpool's secretary as well as the club ambassador, but not by the director of football or the owners. Ultimatum.
