Barcelona fans were asked to vote on which player they would like the club to sign next - and the result won't come as a surprise at all.

Barcelona-based outlet Sport ran the poll and Philippe Coutinho claimed 70 per cent of the votes, highlighting just how much Blaugrana fans want him to join.

Colombian defender Yerry Mina, heavily linked with the club, was also featured in the poll but the Palmeiras man only received 17 per cent of votes.

After the long saga in the summer, where Barcelona reportedly had three different bids turned down by Liverpool for Coutinho, the rumours have begun to swirl again - following on from Nike's incredibly weird marketing blunder.

Another Catalan newspaper, Mundo Deportivo, are reporting that Barcelona will table a fresh £133 million bid to try and prise away Coutinho this January.

They say the La Liga leaders will pay £100 million upfront, with a further £36 million following in add-ons. That would likely be more appealing to Liverpool, but it's worth noting it's only one of a flurry of reports on Coutinho to Barcalona - the story just won't go away.

Coutinho was absent from the Liverpool side for their 2-1 win against Burnley on New Year's Day following a slight thigh injury.

After the game, Jurgen Klopp was asked for his thoughts on Nike's Coutinho advert on their website and he gave a typically hilarious answer.

Here's to many more Coutinho-Barcelona stories throughout January...
