Liverpool transfer news: PSG have been told Brazilian star Philippe Coutinho is not for sale at any price

LIVERPOOL have spurned the advances of Paris Saint Germain for Philippe Coutinho.

Moneybags PSG are long term admirers of the Brazilian and have been trying to lure the playmaker to the French capital for months. However the Premier League side have stood firm in their desire to hold on to Coutinho who has been one of Liverpool’s stand-out performers so far this season.

PSG have scoured Europes top league to land yet another star player and set their sights on the 24-year-old who moved to Anfield from Inter Milan in 2013 for a mere £8.5million.

The French champions bid of £22.5m was rejected out of hand by Liverpool in the summer, but that hasn’t stopped PSG boss Unai Emery in his attempts to lure Coutinho to the Ligue 1 with a lucrative offer.

Coutinho who starred in Brazil's win over Venezuela this week is Liverpool's current player of the year and has been a major factor in the Merseysiders' excellent start to the season.

The former Inter man has hit the ground running this season scoring seven goals for club and country.

The Brazilian, who was signed by former manager Brendan Rodgers, took time to settle on Merseyside but is now vital to boss Jurgen Klopp's long term plans as the Reds look to launch a Premier League title assault this season.
