Liverpool have made a final offer to Inter Milan in an attempt to conclude a deal for Philippe Coutinho.
The Anfield club have not increased their £7.2million bid for the Brazilian midfielder, who is also a target for Southampton, but restructured it in a way that would see Inter receive more money up front.
Target: Philippe Coutinho is wanted by Liverpool
Negotiations have dragged on since Liverpool’s opening offer was rebuffed last Friday and boss Brendan Rodgers is aware a time may come when Liverpool have to walk away from the deal.
Rodgers, meanwhile, is reluctant to let either Sebastian Coates or Jack Robinson leave Anfield on loan. The defenders have rarely figured this season but Rodgers does not feel he can allow them to go elsewhere.

‘They need to get out but unfortunately it may well be that they don't go out,’ said Rodgers. ‘The needs of the group is the most important thing.’
Hearts have confirmed the signing of Liverpool striker Michael Ngoo on loan.
