Barcelona ready to cut their losses on Coutinho

Philippe Coutinho could reportedly be set to leave Barcelona in the summer for a fee well below what the Catalan giants paid for him.

The Brazilian joined Barcelona 18 months ago for a massive £142million fee, but with the playmaker struggling to make an impact, the club are ready to cut their losses.

Reports suggest that Barcelona would be willing to let Coutinho leave for just £68.8million.

He has nine goals and five assists for Barcelona this season, and has started just 16 games and made ten La Liga substitute appearances. He hasn’t completed 90 minutes on the pitch since January.

Manchester United were linked with a move, but with the player not keen on a return to England, it appears Paris Saint-Germain are the most likely destination.

PSG are one of the few clubs in the world who could afford his transfer fee and wage demands – he is, after all, the third-highest earner at Barcelona on £240,000 each week.
