Barcelona 'demand at least £87m for Philippe Coutinho'

Barcelona will reportedly refuse to sell Philippe Coutinho for anything less than €100m (£87.3m) this summer amid interest from Chelsea, Newcastle United and Everton.

Barcelona will reportedly refuse to sell Philippe Coutinho for anything less than €100m (£87.3m) this summer.

The 27-year-old has spent the 2019-20 season out on loan at Bayern Munich, where he has scored nine goals and created eight more in 32 appearances across all competitions.

Bayern are not interested in making that deal permanent, though, while Barcelona are keen to cut their losses on a player that cost them a club-record £145m just 18 months ago.

However, the Spanish champions are unwilling to drop their asking price too much, and Mundo Deportivo reports that they will not consider any bids below £87.3m.

Barca have not ruled out keeping Coutinho, although their preference is to sell given the financial impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

A return to the Premier League is considered the most likely option for the former Liverpool playmaker, with Chelsea thought to be leading the race for his signature ahead of Newcastle United and Everton.
