Chelsea could pull plug on move for Philippe Coutinho with Premier League side 'also keen on Bayer Leverkusen's Kai Havertz'

Chelsea may not be willing to offer Phillipe Coutinho an escape route from Barcelona this summer, with the Premier League side keep an eye on other targets.

Coutinho - who joined the LaLiga side from Liverpool in January 2018 in a £145m deal - is reportedly free to leave the Nou Camp this summer for the right price.

The Brazilian is currently on loan at Bayern Munich but has not done enough in the Bundesliga to convince the league leaders to make his move permanent.

That has alerted a number of clubs across Europe - including those in the Premier League - with both Chelsea and Everton heavily linked.
