Report: Manchester City plan move for Philippe Coutinho

Manchester City are considering a summer move for Liverpool's Philippe Coutinho, according to reports.

Manchester City have reportedly added Liverpool's Philippe Coutinho to a growing list of potential targets as they continue plans for a summer reshuffle.

A frustrating defence of their Premier League title has increased speculation that Manuel Pellegrini could be sacked at the end of the season, but the priority for the club's hierarchy is believed to be freshening up the squad.

Jordan Henderson and Raheem Sterling have both been linked with moves to the Etihad Stadium in recent weeks, and The Mirror has suggested that they are also interested in Coutinho, who signed a new five-year contract with the club in February.

The report claims that City are hopeful that the promise of a substantial pay rise could tempt the Brazilian away from Anfield should Liverpool miss out on Champions League qualification.

Coutinho scored the winner against Blackburn Rovers on Wednesday night to send Liverpool into the FA Cup semi-finals.
