Liverpool's Philippe Coutinho has not travelled with the squad for a warm-weather training camp in Dubai as speculation intensifies about a renewed bid for the playmaker from Barcelona, reports said Saturday. Britain's Press Association (PA) said the Brazil international, currently sidelined with a thigh injury, was among a number of first-team players who stayed behind on Merseyside. Barcelona-based newspaper Sport reported Saturday that Barcelona and Liverpool had agreed a deal in principle worth up to 160 million euros for Coutinho to move to the La Liga giants this month. The Spanish league leaders had three offers for Coutinho rejected in the summer. Coutinho handed in a transfer request at the time in an attempt to force a move but was unsuccessful. The Brazilian has not played in either of the Liverpool's matches since the transfer window opened at the start of the month because of a minor thigh problem.
