Barcelona’s hierarchy are bracing themselves for interest from Chelsea in Philippe Coutinho, as the Blues go in search of a replacement for Eden Hazard, Goal reports.
Although Coutinho wants to remain at Camp Nou despite a disappointing first full season, some members of the Blaugrana’s board of directors are keen to sell him this summer.
The Brazil international has failed to impress since arriving from Liverpool in a £105million deal in January 2018, despite playing his part in two LaLiga title wins.
A disappointing performance against his former club at Anfield, saw Barca crash out of Europe, raising more questions of the 26-year-old.
Chelsea, meanwhile, look set to lose Hazard this summer, with the forward very close to joining Real Madrid.
