Three Premier League clubs join race to sign Coutinho

Three English Premier League clubs have joined the race to join Barcelona’s Philippe Coutinho, who is currently spending loan spell with Bayern Munich in Germany.

The Brazilian international joined the Bundesliga giants, who have an option to make the deal permanent by paying €120 million in the summer 2019.

However, it was reported in the media recently that Bayern are not interested in making the creative midfielder’s move permanent.

As per France Football, Premier League clubs—Tottenham Hotspur, Everton and Newcastle United—are interested in signing Coutinho in the summer transfer window.

Reportedly, Coutinho bags €30 million per season, whereas Barcelona will have to pay a bonus of €20 million to Liverpool once the player will complete 100 appearances for the club.

The 25-year-old joined the Spanish club in January 2018 for a reported transfer fee of €145 million.

Since then, the creative midfielder has represented Barcelona in 76 matches in all competitions where he has managed to score 21 goals and provided 11 assists.
