The Brazilian wants to leave Liverpool to play at the Camp Nou

In Liverpool they say he isn't training properly to try and force his way out

Philippe Coutinho is trying to leave Liverpool to sign for FC Barcelona. The Brazilian international has told Jurgen Klopp he wants to depart from Anfield to head to the Camp Nou, showing his discontent with the German coach's attitude towards the deal.

Per Yahoo Sport, Coutinho has twice asked Klopp to sign for Barcelona. And the 25 year old has prepared badly for the start to the season, against Watford. 

"Coutinho is doing little in training," said a source. The forward was not included in the squad for the recent friendly against Athletic Bilbao with back pain given as the reason. 

Liverpool rejected an 80m euro bid for him from Barcelona but the Catalans are going to push for him after selling Neymar for 222 millon euros.
