BARCA WON'T RETURN FOR COUTINHO IN JANUARY

Barcelona will not return with a fresh offer to sign Liverpool playmaker Philippe Coutinho in January, according to Marca 

The report claims the Blaugrana will not rekindle their interest in four months' time because Coutinho is now cup-tied in the Champions League, having featured in Liverpool's 2-2 draw with Sevilla.

Marca say Barca will instead turn to Nice midfielder Jean Michael Seri as they look to strengthen their midfield options in the winter.
