The former Liverpool midfielder will only consider a return to Anfield if he's leaving Barcelona before deadline

Philippe Coutinho rejected a loan move to Tottenham this week, prompting he's staying put at Barcelona with the transfer deadline looming.
The Brazilian became heavily linked with move away from the Nou Camp this summer after Barcelona reportedly made him available for negotiations.
After failing to impress on his debut season with the La Liga champions, the 27-year-old now look set for another fresh challenge to compete in Ernesto Valverde's side this season.
And TalkSPORT have claimed Coutinho's decision to stay at Barcelona is on the basis that he has only one option in Liverpool to consider leaving the Catalans if it happens beforehand.
But Jurgen Klopp is unlikely to make a last-minute move to bring Coutinho back to the club as the Liverpool boss had previously ruled out a move.
