The former Reds midfielder is not expecting a move to be made to bring the Brazilian back from Barcelona and sees the Egyptian forward staying put
Philippe Coutinho “would never be welcomed back at Liverpool”, says Danny Murphy, while Mohamed Salah will not be “remotely tempted to leave” despite being linked with Juventus.
Transfer talk at Anfield is starting to build again in the wake of the January window and ahead of the summer.
Among those to have been linked with a possible move to Merseyside is former favourite Coutinho, with the Barcelona playmaker having struggled to produce his best since swapping Anfield for Camp Nou.
Jurgen Klopp has previously sought to play down any suggestion of Liverpool looking to bring the Brazilian back, and Murphy doubts any deal would be done for the 26-year-old.
The ex-Reds midfielder told Sportingbet: “Coutinho would never be welcomed back at Liverpool.
“It hasn’t worked out for him at Barcelona, but he made his bed by declaring how much he wanted to leave and now he has to sleep in it.
“I think even if Liverpool thought it was something they wanted, the fans would make it perfectly clear it wasn’t acceptable and would force them to pull the plug.
“The fans didn’t necessarily begrudge him his move to Barcelona, but he left himself no way to come back.”
