Ironically, throughout this summer the Catalans had relentlessly courted Coutinho as the replacement for Neymar, offering upwards of £100m, only to have the offers instantly rebuffed by a firm-standing Liverpool. Coutinho's attempt to push the move forward by submitting a transfer request was also fruitless.
Yet PSG seem undeterred from the drama surrounding the Liverpool playmaker and are confident they can convince Liverpool to part with their star man, despite the absence of a buyout clause in his current contract.
Neymar will remain hopeful that his pal and international team-mate will link up with him in the French Capital, but it would surely mean departures for the French side - PSG are already pushing the limit with regards to Financial Fair Play.
