Philippe Coutinho is reportedly determined to force a transfer to Barcelona.
According to Mundo Deportivo's Roger Torello, Coutinho is ready to stop taking the pitch for Liverpool. The Brazilian midfielder apparently doesn't want to miss the opportunity to play for Barcelona, and, at the risk of jeopardising his spot at the 2018 World Cup, will do the maximum to force the Reds to let him leave, since his decision to represent the Blaugrana is "more than taken."
Coutinho allegedly submitted a transfer request, but Liverpool said he missed the first leg of the Reds' tie against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim on Tuesday due to a back injury. He reportedly believes he's always been honest and shown his respect for the English club and its supporters, which is why, after asking formally and amicably, he's raised his tone and is ready to sit in the stands all season if his exit isn't facilitated.

Liverpool have made it clear that he wasnt for sale, they just signed a new contract, etc, etc. We all know how this goes.
But if I'm Liverpool and dont need the money I let him sit. Not in the stands. At home.
Stay at home. Dont train. Dont play.
