Amid a mountain of rumors, denials, exclusive (even world-exclusive) stories and endless hours of discussion, Philippe Coutinho remains a Liverpool player. Many will congratulate owners FSG for keeping to their word (which most doubted it would keep) and not sell the forward to Barcelona whose third bid of £118 million was turned down by Liverpool.
Juergen Klopp is fed up talking about Coutinhogate, not least because he is asked the same questions over and over again.
"My English isn't good enough to give 500 different answers to the same question," he said this week, but insisted there would be no hard feelings towards the allegedly want-away player.
