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?

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....
