Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool are interested in signing Barcelona attacking midfielder Philippe Coutinho, but there is interest from Newcastle United and Everton as well, according to Mundo Deportivo.
The report in the Spanish news outlet has claimed that the agent of Coutinho is handling the interest of Liverpool, Everton and Newcastle.
This suggests that the three Premier League clubs have already made contact with Coutinho’s agent.
However, according to the report, none of Liverpool, Newcastle and Everton have made bids for the 29-year-old attacking midfielder.
Mundo Deportivo have claimed that Inter Milan have made a move for the Brazil international, who can also operate as a winger.
Could Philippe Coutinho join Liverpool?
In our opinion, it is unlikely that Coutinho will be back at Liverpool in the January transfer window.
Yes, the Brazilian was a huge success at Anfield and was praised by manager Jurgen Klopp.
However, Liverpool do not play with a number 10 now, and they do not need any wingers.
Moreover, Coutinho earns £380,000 per week (Salary Sport).
We do not think that Liverpool are going to pay that kind of salary to a 29-year-old they do not need.
With Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle also among the clubs linked, it will be interesting to see what happens with Coutinho in January.
