Philippe Coutinho's links to Barcelona have strengthened after the Liverpool playmaker's agent reportedly visited the Camp Nou "to confirm interest" from the Spanish club. Meanwhile, intrigue is building around a winter deal for Borussia Dortmund's Christian Pulisic.
According to Spanish newspaper Sport (h/t Dipesh Agarwal of Sport Witness), Coutinho's representative was in Catalonia several weeks ago and "likes everyone at Barcelona and the club itself."
Although not named in the article, Kia Joorabchian is believed to be Coutinho's representative, and the Liverpool Echo's James Pearce reported in the summer that the pair had been working together for 18 months.
