According to reports from Catalan newspaper Sport (h/t Sport Witness), Newcastle United are keen to sign Philippe Coutinho from Barcelona this summer.
Coutinho joined Barcelona for a fee in the region of £142-145 million from Liverpool, and has turned out to be a major flop for the club. He has impressed this season for Bayern Munich on loan, but the German giants are unwilling to sign him permanently.
Barcelona are desperate to offload him, and according to reports from Bleacher Report, he could be available for £70 million. A host of Premier League clubs including Chelsea and Everton have been linked with a move for the Brazilian, and it seems, Newcastle have joined the race as well.
