COUTINHO ISSUES TRANSFER REQUEST

COUTINHO ISSUES TRANSFER REQUEST


Liverpool are doing everything possible to hold on to their playmaker but with the turn of event, it seems the Midfielder wants out by all means.



Philippe Coutinho had in the wake of the interest from Barcelona said he would like to join Barcelona if the deal can be done peacefully but as it seems Liverpool doesn’t want to listen to any offer for the player, Coutinho wants to force his way out.





It was reported that Barcelona placed a €100 Million bid for the player which Liverpool immediately turned down and issued a statement in that regard declaring the matter to be ‘closed’. Barcelona has since definitely gone back to prepare a more improved bid for the player.



In a swift twist, Liverpool owners have issued an official statement that the player will NOT be sold under any circumstances at least this season. The Statement reads thus



“We wish to offer clarity as regards our position on a possible transfer of Philippe Coutinho. The club’s definitive stance is that no offers for Philippe will be considered and he will remain a member of Liverpool Football Club when the summer window closes



This cannot be unconnected with the open frustration shown by Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp that anything becomes possible once PSG met the €222M Neymar price tag. That is suggestive that in spite of his unwillingness to let Coutinho leave, Barcelona could come with a mega deal and the owners would sell him.



In reaction to this development, news emerging from Sky Sports says Coutinho has handed in a transfer request despite already being told if he does it would be turned down.



Will Barcelona get their man at the end of the day? With Dembele saga yesterday and Coutinho today, who will replace Neymar at Barcelona?

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.
