Report: £35m Everton target dreams of joining Liverpool, club ready to sell – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Phillipe Coutinho is reportedly dreaming of a potential return to Liverpool someday.
The Brazilian joined Barcelona from Liverpool in January 2018 for a reported £146 million after a superb five-year spell at Anfield.
His spell at the Catalan club has been a disaster. He failed to settle at the Catalan club, and only managed to produce glimpses of his ability.
Arsenal have been heavily linked with a move for Coutinho in the past transfer windows, and they are reportedly interested in signing him again this summer.
Coutinho has just over two years remaining on his Barca contract, and Ronald Koeman is open to letting him go.
According to French publication, Le 10 Sport, Everton are also interested in signing the former Liverpool man this summer.
Coutinho could be sold for just €40m (£35m) this summer, according to Sport.
The same publication now claim that the Brazilian wouldn’t mind a return to Liverpool after seeing his career go downhill since moving to Barcelona.
Barcelona have suffered problems in the past in trying to offload Coutinho, and they are going through the same issue again.
No clubs have come up with an official bid for Coutinho as yet. Coutinho is on €165,000 (£141,800)-a-week wages, and Barcelona want to get get back some of the hefty fee they paid for him by selling him this summer.
Liverpool seem to have moved on from Coutinho, and there’s no way Jurgen Klopp will be welcoming him back.
The Reds do need an attacking midfielder who can score goals and create chances for others, but there are better options available in the market.
