Barcelona demand £130 million for Chelsea target Philippe Coutinho

Barcelona have put a huge £130 million price tag on ex-Liverpool man Phillippe Coutinho, as they look to sell the Brazilian this Summer, according to the Mirror.

Despite impressing at Liverpool, and being signed by Barcelona for a club record £105 million last January, things have never really got going for Coutinho in Spain.

The Brazilian has never lived up to his price tag, and the Catalan giants are looking to cut their losses this Summer by selling the midfielder.

Manchester United and Chelsea are both reportedly looking at bringing Coutinho back to England.

However, they will face tough competition, with PSG and Juventus both also looking at a deal.

Juventus could reportedly offer Barcelona a swap deal involving Argentine star Paulo Dybala.

Barcelona are looking to get funds to add Ajax’s Matthijs de Ligt and Atletico Madrid’s Antoine Griezmann to their ranks this summer, after already securing the signature of another of Ajax’s young stars in Frankie de Jong.
