Barcelona 'put £80m price tag on Philippe Coutinho'

Barcelona would reportedly be prepared to sell Philippe Coutinho for £80m this summer.

The Brazil international, who continues to be linked with Chelsea, has struggled to make his mark at Camp Nou since arriving in a big-money move from Liverpool in 2018.

Coutinho has impressed on loan at Bayern Munich this season, scoring nine times and registering eight assists in 32 appearances, but the German champions are allegedly unlikely to complete a permanent deal.

According to Sport, Barca are keen to shift the playmaker this summer and are prepared to take a £65m hit on the 27-year-old by placing him on the market for £80m.

Chelsea are said to be keen on a loan deal for the South American, but the Catalan giants want him to leave permanently during this summer's transfer window.

Manchester United have also previously been credited with an interest.
