Former Liverpool talisman Philippe Coutinho is out of contention at Barcelona and two Italian giants in Milan and Juventus are interested in getting him.
Philippe Coutinho is a difficult target for Lazio, but not an impossible one. The help could come directly from Barcelona, which are desperately trying to move him. They have some chances to land him late in the window if few situations went in their favor. In the meantime, they are eyeing some alternatives on the wings.
Lazio are seeking multiple wingers, but their transfer market appears to be stuck in molasses. The agent Kia Joorabchian proposed Philippe Coutinho to them. The Biancocelesti are monitoring the situation, but the deal is hugely complicated because of his wages.
Super-agent Kia Joorabchian has offered his client Philippe Coutinho to Milan, with another loan deal for the Barcelona outcast on the cards. According to Spanish publication Mundo Deportivo (via Daily Mail), the Brazilian could arrive at the San Siro on a season-long loan following an injury-ravaged season at Camp Nou.
The Milan management are not pulling their hair out for losing Hakan Calhanoglu. However, that does not mean that his loss is insignificant, technically speaking. The laundry list of names to replace him has reached a ridiculous length, with some certainly more believable than others.
Milan have reportedly established contact with Barcelona to propose a high-profile swap deal including Alessio Romagnoli and Philippe Coutinho. As per Spanish outlet Marca, the Rossoneri have approached the Catalan giants with the idea of swapping their underperforming stars as they look to replace Hakan Calhanoglu.
