Barcelona outcast Philippe Coutinho is desperate to hear from former club Liverpool.

Sport says Liverpool are one of three possibilities for Coutinho in his bid to leave Barca over the next few months.

It is believed the former Reds star's preference is to head back to Anfield this summer three-and-a-half years after he departed for Catalonia in a mega £130million transfer.

However, he could find difficulty in convincing his old club to take him back, as Jurgen Klopp already has a luxury of midfield options at his disposal.

As well as Liverpool, former side Inter Milan and Leicester are also understood to be in contention of prising Coutinho away from Barca this summer.
