Report: Tottenham Hotspur interested in Philippe Coutinho

Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona for a massive transfer fee of £142 million.

Having signed him for just £8.5 million back in 2013, the profit made from his transfer, plus the two players signed with that money – Virgil van Dijk and Alisson Becker – makes it a masterstroke transfer business.

The 27-year-old soon found life miserable at the Catalan club. He struggled to make an impact at Barcelona, and joined Bayern Munich on loan at the start of the season.

According to latest repots from the Express, Barcelona are looking to offload him for a cut-price £77m this summer in the hope of attracting Premier League interest.
