Philippe Coutinho's future is likely to lie in the Premier League. The Brazilian is keen to return to England two years after leaving Liverpool for Barcelona.
Coutinho is wanted by Chelsea as the London club, under Frank Lampard, look to return to the top of the Premier League, which they last won in 2016-17.
Barça and Chelsea have begun talks over a deal. Contact was first made after it became known that Bayern Munich, where Coutinho is on loan, will not take up their 120 million euro option to buy.
Chelsea are working on building a team for the 20-21 season that can compete with Liverpool and Manchester City.
However, talks will not be easy. Barça paid 160 million for Coutinho and are looking to bring in around 90 million to at least cover some of their losses.
Chelsea, though, have no intention of spending so much but believe they have other factors in their favour: the player's desire to return to England and Barça's urgency to bring in cash to fund a move for Lautaro Martinez, among others.

Firstly,I think Chelsea should sign Philippe Coutinho on loan.If he performs impressively,then,just then,they can think of buying him on a permanent basis.Philippe Coutinho is an impressive attacking midfielder and at the same time Chelsea are poor in attack,so he would improve their attack.Also,Chelsea should think of options such as Werner,Gabriel, Alex Telles,Onana,Donarumma and Ake.🔥

With Giroud, Jorgino , Barkley, Loftus cheek, Willian, Pedro, Odoi Hudson, Kovacic,Tomori, Alonso, Zouma, Caballero as substitutes Chelsea will be strong, they can sell and loan the rest and can even buy two defenders to make the squad strong. but as for midfielders we have more than enough

90 million is not happening, at best theyll get 60 million but even 60 million for Coutinho wouldnt be bad considering the market and the fact hes prem tested. I'll take Coutinho at Chelsea of we don't get Sancho which we probably arent. Chelsea and Frank are moving smart we are targeting mainly players with a left foot or players that can operate in many positions even the first team is made of players that can play in more than 1 position. Frank is a lowkey genius unlike precious managers hes noticed flaws andbis going after not only what we need but also players that can fill in all over in the case of injuries.
