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

THE FAILED CONSPIRACY

THE FAILED CONSPIRACY As much as FIFA World Cup finals have unforgettable matches, the qualifiers sure have games that would leave your mouth open. A Selecao of Brazil is the only team in the World to participate in all 21 FIFA World Cup finals. There were times they were at the brink of missing out of the party but none can really be scary like the conspiracy that would have kept the Samba boys out of the 1990 FIFA World Cup finals in Italy. Brazil was hosting Chile on the last day of the CONMEBOL Qualifiers for the Italia 1990 FIFA Wolrd Cup at the Maracana. A draw would take Brazil through and Chile could only make it by winning in Brazil. You would say that’s almost impossible? Yes, so I thought but the Chileans had another plan. On the day, the whole stadium was filled, the Argentine referee, Juan Carlos Loustou commenced the match and it was tough between both sides but you know Brazil was the home team who only needs a draw to qualify. The first half ended goalless....
