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.
