BARCA TO TURN TO MAN UTD TARGET OR TOTTENHAM STAR IF COUTINHO BID FAILS


BaRCa to turn to man utd target or Tottenham star if coutinho bid fails


Barcelona’s bid to sign Philippe Coutinho seems to be getting complicated by the minutes. Liverpool had rejected Barcelona’s bid worth £90M for the player from Barcelona and has issued a statement that the player is not for sale under any circumstances. Coutinho had turned in a transfer request via email barely 20 minutes after the Liverpool statement.



Coutinho who had earlier said he would want to leave for Barcelona if an amicable transfer could be reached by the team had to do that because it seems like Steven Gerrard and Luiz Suarez said Liverpool doesn’t let their star leave amicably. Jurgen Klopp has however reacted to the transfer request that the timing of the request is what is wrong therefore it is unlikely it would be granted.




Barcelona, confronted with the possibility of not getting their man has reportedly lined up Tottenham star Christian Eriksen as a possible prospect if Coutinho’s bid fail. The player who signed a four year contract with Spurs in 2016 will definitely not come cheap for Barcelona considering the stage the transfer window is and the possibility of Spurs getting replacement. However, based on the price Barcelona will expectedly place on him anything can still happen.




Another player Barcelona is reported to have shortlisted if Coutinho bid fails is Manchester United target Ivan Perisic. The player is reported to have put signing of a new contract at Inter Milan on hold in expectation of a new transfer, perhaps to Manchester United. It is not unlikely Barcelona can hijack the deal from United if Coutinho’s bid fails

ALL THE PREMIER LEAGUE TRANSFERS

The strength and chances of teams in the Premier League and any competition whatsoever are judged based on the quality in their squad and the business they transact in the summer. I guess that explains the reason teams like Liverpool held on to Philippe Coutinho and Southampton would not change their decision over Virgil van Dijk despite genuine interests from teams like Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal.

The outgone transfer window did live up to expectation. Even though the English Premier League was not involved in the most expensive transfers of the Summer, the English League stil...
