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

ESCOBAR: IT WAS SIX SHOTS FOR ONE GOAL

ESCOBAR: IT WAS SIX SHOTS FOR ONE GOAL Growing up you must have heard about a certain Escobar who scored an own goal and was killed for doing that. This story tells us as much crazy as the FIFA World Cup can be, but wait was it just about a football match or there is another undertone to it? Let’s go find out what caused the death of “El Caballero del Futbol” (The gentleman of football). Coming to the 1994 FIFA World Cup in the United States, the Colombian team had been built to one of the strongest team in the World. They were so strong that the legendary Pele tipped them to make at least the Semifinal at the mundial. This was not an overstatement because in 26 matches leading to the 1994 World Cup, Colombia only lost a match out of 26. To prove further that they were contenders in the real sense of it, in the South America’s last World Cup qualifiers at Buenos Aires, the 1990 finalist and the host, Argentina needed a win against Colombia to qualify but were walloped 5-0 by th...
