Philippe Coutinho and Eden Hazard transfer claim made by Stan Collymore

Coutinho, 25, is desperate to complete a move to Barcelona this month with claims in Spain suggesting he’s gone on strike.

That comes after he was left out the squad to face Burnley on new Year’s Day.

Hazard, meanwhile, is being lined up by Real Madrid with his dad claiming Eden has rejected a contract in case the Bernabeu giants came calling.

But ex-Liverpool striker Collymore has no doubt on who would be the biggest loser if both deals went through.

He told the Mirror: “Will Real Madrid make their move for Eden Hazard this month? That is the big question for Chelsea fans.

“If the Spanish giants do come for the Blues playmaker then Roman Abramovich needs to reject their bid out of hand.

“Chelsea don’t have the embarrassment of riches Manchester City can call on in those floating forward positions and losing the Belgian would be more damaging for them than losing Philippe Coutinho would be for Liverpool.

“Even if Hazard does want to go they must keep him at all costs, at least until the end of the season.”

There was no sign of Coutinho as Liverpool nicked a 2-1 win at Burnley with the official word being that he has a groin problem.

Asked about the Brazilian’s absence, boss Jurgen Klopp said: “Him and Mo Salah are injured.

“They are a doubt for Everton.”
