The report claims that Klopp is keen on a deal for Rafinha and has asked Liverpool’s sporting director Michael Edwards to ensure that the club stays ahead of their rivals in the race for the 24-year-old.

Rafinha would be open to a move to Anfield as he wants to make Brazil’s squad for next year’s World Cup and competition for places at Barcelona means that he is unlikely to get enough playing time to impress.
Liverpool want the deals for Coutinho and Rafinha to be treated separately but Barca could use their interest in the Brazilian to lower Coutinho’s asking price.
Klopp is demanding €120m (£107m) for the 25-year-old, which is well in excess of the €80m (£71.5m) Barcelona have bid so far.
The Liverpool manager is also reportedly unhappy that a meeting took place in London between Barcelona’s three representatives Raül Sanllehi, Robert Fernandez and Andre Cury, and Coutinho’s agents.
