"?French champions Paris-Saint Germain are planning a £45m raid for Liverpool's influential Brazilian playmaker Philippe Coutinho, according to "?"?reports in France.
PSG are on the hunt for a big-name signing this summer after it emerged that Swedish sensation Zlatan Ibrahimovic would be leaving the French capital after four years.
The likes of "?Cristiano Ronaldo and Chelsea's "?Eden Hazard have been linked with Laurent Blanc's side along with Napoli's "?Gonzalo Higuain.
However, "?Le 10 Sport claim that attention has turned to Liverpool's Philippe Coutinho, who is reportedly thought of highly by PSG.
The report states that PSG have made contact with Coutinho's agent and are preparing a £45m bid for the Brazilian international.
Liverpool will be reluctant to let go of their star man, who at 23 years of age still has the best of his career ahead of him.
Philippe Coutinho's Premier League season by numbers:
26 games 49 chances created 49 take-ons 8 goals 5 assists#AskSquawka @CallTheKops
Coutinho was influential for Liverpool once again during Jurgen Klopp's debut season at Anfield. The ex-Inter midfielder bagged 12 goals and seven assists in 43 appearances for the Reds.
However, his goals contribution wasn't enough to achieve silverware, despite qualifying for both the Europa League and League Cup finals, both of which they lost to Sevilla and Manchester City respectively.
Due to an 8th placed finish in the Premier League, Liverpool will not be playing in Europe next season, a prospect that might tempt Coutinho with a move away from the club.
