Barca in talks with Juve over Coutinho

According to a recent report from Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona have been in talks with Juventus over the possibility of them having first refusal of Philippe Coutinho. The belief is that the Brazilian could be allowed to leave for a fee of around €90 million during the summer transfer window with Bayern Munich not planning on taking up the option to sign him on a permanent basis. 

While Bayern and Barcelona don’t appear to be all too eager to have him, there are still plenty of top clubs around European football who seem to be entertaining the idea of bringing him on. 

Coutinho was a phenom during his days with Liverpool and if he’s able to recapture even a small percentage of that, he could serve as a useful tool for plenty of teams. 

Whether or not anyone is willing to stump up the cash necessary to make it happen is a different matter altogether.
