Philippe Coutinho: A new war between Barcelona and PSG
The French side would love to add Barcelona target Coutinho to their ranks
However he is a close friend of Blaugrana forward Neymar
Liverpool’s Philippe Coutinho, the Brazilian playmaker, has become one of PSG’s transfer targets. Coutinho could therefore lead to a new face-to-face between Barcelona and the Fench side, given the Catalans are also interested in the star. Now Marco Verratti’s transfer is virtually impossible, the sides will do battle over Coutinho, according to L’Equipe, who say that he is more than a Plan B for PSG.
According to their story, PSG want to sign Kylian Mbappe as well as Coutinho to reinforce their squad for next season. An operation which would cost around 90 million euros, reinforcing PSG’s side while impeding Barcelona. It would be a way of dealing Barcelona back the damage which has been done in the scuffle over Verratti.
However Coutinho is more interested in playing at Barcelona it seems, as a close friend of Neymar. The player would like to come to Camp Nou and we don’t know what he thinks about PSG’s offer.
Coutinho has a contract with Liverpool until 2022.
