How do you know, has he said that he is staying?

Considering he's not angling for a new contract itd have been pretty easy and risk free for him to just come out and say "I'm staying" in the past week or two if that's what he wants.
Oh dear... Typical Liverpool fan. Love your optimism. It's cute, just like the boom bust cycle. Warms my heart
In fairness he signed a new contract not long ago and hasn't caused any stirs in pushing a move, so there's more evidence of him being happy where he is than otherwise.
He signed a new contract last year, the same as Neymar did. Everyone is happy until they move. Has he come out and said, I am happy at Liverpool and I want to stay?
I don't know either way, that is why I said "maybe".
As it stands he hasn't said anything as far as I am aware, which reading between the lines again may suggest he isn't kicking up a fuss to leave.
All we know is a bid was made and it was rejected as we do not want or need to sell - if that changes obviously then maybe the player will have asked to leave or Liverpool change their minds based on a further huge offer.
My own feeling, hope is that he will stay at least another season, but that is purely based on what LFC said when the offer was made.
Plus we have a lot of money to spend (as the Keita and Van Dijk situation showed), so I am assuming there is no pressure from the owners to sell.
I haven't said he is definitely staying, to do that would be a bit daft as I don't know that for sure.
Why does he need to? He hasn't shown any public interest in Barcelona, nor is he causing problems behind the scene.
Nobody knows anything....Anyway, if people are saying 120m for Coutinho, then Pog for 89 is looking an absolute bargain.
I will tattoo the United crest on my forehead if Coutinho leaves this window. No chance whatsoever.
Quoted, just in case.
You trying to outdo the testicle guy?
Suarez signed a new contract a couple of months before fecking off too.
A few rumours on twitter saying this is done.
Suarez was actively linked with a move away and reported to want out for more silverware.
No signs of that with coutinho just yet.
I mean, yeah, aside from the extremely heavy links to Barcelona.
Coutinho hasn't been reported to want out of Liverpool though. Suarez did. He was closey linked to Arsenal the year before he left for Barcelona.
No you won't do it so no need to make such a bullish statement.
Arsenal would've won the league in 13/14 had they pushed for Suarez a little harder.
Being stuck at Liverpool? Coutinho has never been anything more than occasionally brilliant for us. If he'd been any better than that then maybe he'd have had more attention from Europe's elite a few years earlier.
It took Coutinho ages to break into the Brazil team because of his inconsistencies, not Liverpool's.
The money being quoted for him is insane but it's that sort of market. He'll probably be off next summer if he improves on last season (doesn't go missing again for a few months) and has a good World Cup. The latter is probably a more decisive factor.
I thought Klopp's already said he's going nowhere? I'd be concerned they're about to lose both if I was a Liverpool fan.
Oh, come on, he's your best player by some distance. Most games I saw of yours last year he was Man Of The Match!
Bechler has said Coutinho wants out but Klopp doesn't want to sell.
I love the "broke" claim. Let's ignore the relentless times they were probably wrong. Though I'd assume they could be more reliable than a normal UK paper....I just yeah. Still love it.
Barca sure has a lot of journos spewing out their bullshit.
It's such a massive opportunity, kind of once in a life time career move one when Barca is calling. Just like DDG decided to stuck with United. Where he moved to Madrid 3 yrs ago, he could have 2 CL medal already.
Coutinho could be in the same situation, start looking back in the future, with a lot of "what if". As it seems like Liverpool hasn't been ambitious enough to get back to the top.
Bechler was the Brazilian Journo who was excellent with the Neymar news through out.
Shite source, but
Inter really should have put on a sell on clause.
Exactly this. Coutinho isn't stupid - he will look around the training pitch and see Henderson, Milner and Moreno. He knows Liverpool won't challenge for a league or CL anytime soon.
He wants out.
Atleast DDG saw we're ambitious and willing to spend to try get back to the top. All Cou is going to see is failed attempts all summer to sign just 2 players and ending up with nothing.
They shouldn't of sold in the first place, he's been excellent for Liverpool from the moment he signed
He'd have to be crazy not to want to make that move.
Better team
Bigger club
More chance of trophies
More money between wages, sponsorships etc
Better weather
Great city
More similar culture, language, etc to what he's used to

All the liverpool fans clinging on with false optimism that he wants to stay! He is as good as gone. Good luck in spain coutinho.
He probably wants the move, yes, but there is a difference between wanting a move and forcing it. At the end of the day he has a 5 year contract with no release clause. Reports saying LFC have accepted a £90m bid is just laughable.
Do it kloppa.
i wish this happened later in the month.
It's an insane amount of money. He's a helluva player but I'd have expected to see a £65m valuation. The figures being quoted are nuts, even in the current market.
Can't help but think Barca should have negotiated the Coutinho purchase before the Neymar fee was released.
