Coutinho favouring move to Chelsea

Barcelona winger Philippe Coutinho is favouring a move to Chelsea ahead of other potential suitors this summer.

According to The Daily Express, via Sky Sports, Coutinho wants to move to London and leave Barcelona ahead of next season.

The report claims that Coutinho’s future is up in the air after just 18 months at Barcelona since joining from Premier League side Liverpool in January 2018.

Manchester United and PSG are both said to be interested in a move for the midfielder, but Chelsea have been boosted as Coutinho would favour a transfer to Stamford Bridge over PSG and United.

Coutinho impressed for Brazil on Friday night in their Copa America clash with Bolivia, scoring twice in a 3-0 win for his country.

The winger scored 11 goals in 53 games for Barcelona last season, after scoring 10 in 22 in his first six months with the club. 

He spent six years in the Premier League with Liverpool, scoring 41 goals in 152 games.
