Leicester City keen on signing Philippe Coutinho

Leicester City are interested in signing the Barcelona midfielder Philippe Coutinho this summer.

As per Sport (via Sportwitness), the Foxes have already contacted the Brazilian and Coutinho is attracted to the idea of playing for Rodgers again.

Barcelona are willing to sell the player for a fee of around €75m.

The two worked together at Liverpool and Coutinho flourished under Rodgers. The former Liverpool boss was integral to his development into a star at Anfield.

Coutinho’s career has stalled since his Liverpool exit and he needs someone like Rodgers to rediscover his form and confidence.
