According to reports, Barcelona are planning to offer Liverpool Ivan Rakitic as well as cash as they aim to sign Philippe Coutinho.
The Spanish giants are reportedly aiming to sign the 25-year-old Coutinho this summer as they may be set to part ways with Neymar, who has been linked with a world record move to PSG.
The Reds are however not willing to part ways with Coutinho and he only recently penned a five year deal with the club with no get out clause.
It now appears that the Catalan giants will try and include Rakitic as part of the deal to try and persuade the Jurgen Klopp’s side into selling.
Though the Croatia international Rakitic struggled for form for part of last season, he finished with nine goals from 51 games for the club. That said, it is unlikely that the inclusion of Rakitic as part of the deal with change Liverpool’s mind at this point in time.
