It feels as if we stuck in a time machine with the same, repetitive news about Barcelona midfielder, Coutinho. As per reports, the Spanish club wants to get him off the books and free up funds for others wanted and needed.
"Barcelona have offered Philippe Coutinho to Arsenal and Newcastle in an ongoing bid to free up squad space and funds that will allow them to launch a raid on Inter for Lautaro Martinez, Goal has learned.With that in mind, they have started to seek out potential landing spots, and Arsenal and Newcastle have been sounded out, with both clubs having been heavily linked with the midfielder in the past.

Coutinho already took a 50% wage cut to stay at Bundesliga champions, Bayern Munich, despite them finishing the league on June 27. His contract was due to expire June 30, but the player wanted to enjoy the club’s cup action. The domestic cup, which took place two Saturdays ago, and the Champions League set to take place in August.

The little magician could form part of a treble-winning German side, displaying how good a choice he made to play and take a knock in his wages.
Now when the dream is all over after August what next? Barcelona looks more than willing to take another loan deal as per the proposal. Afore this, the Calatans said they are considering dropping the asking price for the attacking midfielder just to certify they can land other players in the transfer window.
During this time, Arsenal’s name popped up alongside Chelsea. The latter were favourites to land the ex-Liverpool star but then turned their attention to younger stars, Timo Werner and Kai Havertz.
Now Arsenal’s name surfaces again but this time with Newcastle, who is still awaiting on their news on their megamoney takeover. According to recent reports, Premier League head, Richard Masters says the deal will go through.
