Man Utd have Sancho transfer problem, Pochettino to Newcastle, Coutinho’s Chelsea stance

Philippe Coutinho’s stance on Chelsea transfer

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard wants to strengthen his attacking options in the upcoming transfer window and the club are keen to sign Barcelona star Philippe Coutinho – but what does the Brazilian think about a move to Stamford Bridge?

Coutinho had struggled to win over fans in Barcelona since joining from Liverpool for £142million in January 2018.

The 27-year-old was sent out on loan to Bayern Munich this season but the Bundesliga club are not planning on activating the option to make the move permanent.

Instead, they are focusing their efforts to sign Manchester City winger Leroy Sane when the window opens.

As a result, Barcelona are exploring the market and Lampard is interested in adding Coutinho to his squad, with the Brazilian also keen on the move, according to Bleacher Report.

Barca know they will not be getting the full amount back that they paid for Coutinho and a price of around £57million (€65m) have been reported.
