Philippe Coutinho’s agent critical of Barcelona over transfer rumors

Philippe Coutinho, Kia Joorabchian, has had a bit of a pop at Barcelona regarding speculation over the Brazilian’s future at the club.

In an interview with the Telegraph, Joorabchian says he has spoken to president Josep Maria Bartomeu and was told the champions have “no intention” of selling Coutinho.

However, rumors persist that the Brazilian could leave the club this summer, and the agent feels Barca need to put a stop to the speculation.

“Coutinho’s camp are not actively looking to move him but we believe people inside Barcelona may be acting without authority to try and sell the player,” he said.
