Liverpool have rejected a second bid worth 100 million Euros for midfielder Philippe Coutinho from Spanish club Barcelona .

Barcelona are keen to sign the Brazilian playmaker, who joined Liverpool from Inter Milan for 8.5 million pounds in 2013, and have already had an initial bid worth 80 million Euros rejected by Liverpool last month.

The 24-time Spanish league champions increased the offer to 85 million Euros plus 15 million in add-ons but Liverpool have rejected the second bid, maintaining their stance that the player is not for sale.

Liverpool Manager Juergen Klopp has repeatedly said that the 25-year-old would not be sold and the club's position is boosted by Coutinho's signing of a new five-year contract last season.

Media reports indicate that Barcelona are targeting Coutinho and Borussia Dortmund's Ousmane Dembele as replacements for brazil forward Neymar, who joined Paris St Germain last week for a world record transfer fee of 222 million Euros.
