Barcelona star Gerard Deulofeu doesn’t want the club to sign Liverpool's Philippe Coutinho

The Brazil international has been heavily linked with a move to the Nou Camp in recent months.

Barca tabled three bids for the playmaker in the summer, who handed in a transfer request in hope of forcing through a dream move to La Liga.

However, the Reds held firm and kept hold of their key man, and he has netted 13 goals and chipped in with eight assists in all competitions this campaign.

Barca are expected to return for Coutinho, 25, in the January transfer window, with a mammoth bid readied.

However, according to Spanish transfer outlet Don Balon, Deulofeu doesn’t want Coutinho at the Nou Camp.

The former Everton star knows the arrival of the Liverpool man will reduce his game time even more.are
