Inter President Massimo Moratti confirmed that talks with Liverpool over Phillipe Coutinho are close to a conclusion.

Reports from the peninsula suggest that a deal has been reached that will see the Brazilian move to the English club for €12 million.

“There are opportunities that must be taken and at times players can have the chance to get more playing time,” Moratti told Sky Sport Italia.

“This is why I think this English move could be a great opportunity for Coutinho and a deal that would be good for us too,” Moratti told Sky Sport Italia.

Coutinho’s sale is said to be necessary to raise funds in order to sign the Nerazzurri’s target, Paulinho, who carries a €18 million price tag.

“He is very expensive, without doubt, but we’ll see over the next few days whether there is an opportunity for us or not.”
