The agent of Barcelona star Philippe Coutinho has opened up about the player's transfer speculation, which has linked him with a Barcelona exit and a move to Paris Saint-Germain.
According to RMC, super-agent Kia Joorabchian denied claims linking Brazilian international Philippe Coutinho with a move to PSG.
“I spoke in recent days with Pep Segura (Barça Director of Football) in Barcelona. He told me that the club did not want to sell Coutinho this summer. Doesn’t matter what price. And then we have had no contact with PSG for Coutinho.”

We hope Coutinho doesn't leave, he is a fantastic player with great qualities of a player, be is talented, we all saw that he impressed in yhe Copa America and we just need to give him some time and confidence, remember every player faces challenges, we should not give up on him, Coutinho is having a rough time and I hope he stays at Barca next season, good luck Coutinho.

A marvelous,exceptional nd talented player,whose all talents is being wasted by valverde....Barca board instead of selling him or dembele bring back neymar...push coutinho to left centre midfield or in the attacking midfield like what tite does...

Dream 11 for next season with either having Suarez as a swap for Griezmann deal or rotating them. Vidal coming in off of bench and rotate Busquets with De Jong. Dembele can either be part of the Neymar deal since the only reason he was brought in was to be Ney's replacement or rotated.

A big relief if it's true. He is a great player at his natural playing position. He should play as attacking midfielder instead of left winger.

Barcelona will be dumb to risk their chance of buying neymar by keeping coutinho.... Football has evolved. As a midfielder u must either be able to attack and finish chances or Can mark, defend and make a responsibility of helping the defense when ur team aren't in control of the ball...A Barcelona explanation is (Arthur and Coutinho) Arthur:He isn't creative, can't Attack better but has the concept that he has to help the defense... he take control of the game when with possession and run after it when he isn't.. with his defensive ability it has been easy... (work of a CM) Coutinho:Attacks better, marks far lesser... as an attacking midfielder who can't mark.. ur finish must be impeccable, absolutely fantastic which isn't coutinho.... Coutinho has a midfielder pace ,Midfielder passes ....But not to be an anchor dragging the team,u must be a regular finisher unless u develop marking ability as additional....The only way to lessen those responsibility is to play a winger.... we have many players with coutinho ability who had to improve in marking abilities to maintain position... De bruyne, Pogba, erikson, Iniesta, Xavi, Modric, Messi(early stage as a midfielder)and more... Coutinho can't enjoy ball to the fullest with those weakness.... Brazil are fortunate to haven't face a tough opposition with that midfield weakness(-1marking ability in midfield).. Argentina almost took hold of the advantage but quality was missing...
Yo!!!!I do watch Barcelona matches... Coutinho doesn't finish well... he only make his point from outbox attempt but meeting keeper one - one, he fatter... Coutinho is a kid who rely on motivation and fans emotion to do his job.... Klopp knew how to motivate him unlike ______....To have a solid team ...u must be solid both attack wise and defend wise... Using a 4-2-3-1 formation comes with is problems leaving the midfield wings vulnerable for wingers penetration while assuming the 2 spreads to the wing, the center becomes vulnerable to dribblers with messi like qualities leading to space for opponent to create chances... The only way to balance that formation is to have the attacking midfielder who can also mark even a little or disturb... then he keep changing the line to 4-3-3 and4-2-3-1 when he have to.....And a formation like 4-2-3-1 is mostly use for, counter attack not tiki taka... teams like Brazil, France, England can use them not Barcelona... Believe in Barcelona, Coutinho is just a problem rather a solution
