Liverpool’s Philippe Coutinho played well against Argentina through the night and scored his country’s first goal in a 3-0 victory. That’s great, but it’s not going to do anything to dampen the Barcelona rumours.
More worryingly, Sport have decided that Coutinho has ‘Barca DNA’, which sounds very much like they’re bedding in for a long transfer saga. Once a player gets the Barca DNA treatment then he’s almost fair game, the other club are holding him prisoner.
Liverpool’s Jurgen Klopp has made it very clear Coutinho isn’t going anywhere, but Sport reckon Barcelona could get him for €75m, which sounds a little cheap if he continues his current progression.
Real Madrid are also said to be interested, sparking a Spain battle, and if Coutinho has his head turned then the build up to next summer could be worrying for Liverpool.
