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
