Barcelona is seen as the likely target for Coutinho. Their recent transfer ban made the Catalan giants unable to fill the gaps left by the sale of Pedro and through a slew of attacking option injuries. Coutinho also maintains a close friendship with Barcelona star and compatriot Neymar, and has experience playing in Barcelona through a 2012 loan that saw Coutinho play at Espanyol.
With Barcelona’s transfer ban scheduled to be lifted in January it’s likely the Spanish institution will make a major signing to strengthen their ranks.
