Barcelona hope Coutinho will help them sign €100m PSG star

Barcelona hope Coutinho will help them sign €100m PSG star

Barcelona may have found a possible solution to nab Marco Verratti, and it involves Philippe Coutinho.
 
The Liverpool star is, according to Sport, being chased by PSG, who want to boost their attack after a disappointing season.
 
The Ligue 1 side were beaten to the league title by Monaco, and had to endure a 6-1 thrashing at the Camp Nou in the Champions League.
 
Barcelona would, the Catalan paper claims, try to nab Verratti if the Ligue 1 side ends up spending 90-100 million on the Reds star.
 
That is the price that the Anfield club is insisting on, with Coutinho signing a new deal last season.
 
Barcelona have chased Verratti for weeks, with the Italian being linked to the Catalans by El Mundo Deportivo, with the Italian later being photographed holding that edition of the paper.
 
Then again, PSG have been reputed not to be a selling club, and they have repeatedly stated to Verratti that they want to keep him.
