Barcelona are seeking to send Philippe Coutinho on-loan to a Premier League club.
Gazzetta dello Sport says Coutinho has also been offered to Serie A side Lazio, but the Brazil star is reluctant to join the Italians because they will not feature in this season's Champions League.
Barca are trying to tempt the English contenders in the competition by offering to pay half of Coutinho's wages in a season-long loan move.
That could entice Liverpool, for whom Coutinho was the Fans' and Players' Player of the Season in successive seasons between 2014 and 2016.
At 29, the former PFA Team of the Year maestro is still in his prime, showing flashes of the brilliance he dazzled Anfield with when he moved to Bayern Munich for a season in 2019/20.
