LIVERPOOL will look at bringing Philippe Coutinho back to Anfield if Jurgen Klopp cannot land Kai Havertz, according to reports.
The Brazilian left the Reds for Barcelona in 2018 for £145million but has struggled to replicate the form he showed in the Premier League.

Barca are willing to take a hit on the 27-year-old playmaker, who is spending the season on loan at Bayern Munich.
According to the Express, a trio of Premier League clubs including Manchester United and Chelsea are prepared to make their moves with £77m bids this summer.
But his annual wages of about £7.2m will limit the number of interested clubs, as might his Nou Camp slump.
Liverpool are considering his return but only if they fail to sign their top target.
Havertz, 20, has a superstar reputation in the Bundesliga after starring for Bayer Leverkusen since breaking into the first team.
Klopp wants the young German playmaker to add to his roster of attacking talent and is willing to fork out a club-record £107m fee to secure his signature.
Havertz won a host of admirers last season, netting 17 goals and claiming three assists.
This season he has scored four and assisted two while he will have two years left on his contract at the end of the season.
