Philippe Coutinho will snub the advances of newly-minted Newcastle United and reject all offers of a lucrative January move, according to reports.
Coutinho has endured a nightmare spell in Catalonia since arriving from Liverpool in January 2019 as the third most expensive player in football history.
The Brazilian has continually been linked with a move away from the cash-strapped Spaniards, with Newcastle the latest club to be strongly linked.
Now newly owned by the Saudi Arabian public investment fund, the Magpies stand as the wealthiest club in all of world football, despite currently sitting joint bottom of the Premier League table.
