Phillipe Coutinho is reportedly dreaming of a potential return to Liverpool someday. The Brazilian joined Barcelona from Liverpool in January 2018 for a reported £146 million after a superb five-year spell at Anfield.

46y/o boss to snub Spurs, reportedly holding out for Man City & Anfield jobs

Barcelona identify €35m star as ideal replacement for Inter Milan-linked Jordi Alba – report
Barcelona have identified Valencia defender Jose Gaya as the ideal replacement for Inter Milan target Jordi Alba, Marca reports. Alba has been with the club for the past nine years, where he has been an excellent contributor from the left-back role. However, there are suggestions that he could leave them for Inter.
