Barcelona are looking to sell off Philippe Coutinho and affirm his replacement in a 19-year-old Nigerian starlet Samuel Chukwueze during this summer.
Barcelona signed Philippe Coutinho from Liverpool for a club record fee of 142 million euros back in January 2018.
Despite paying through their nose for the Brazil international, the winger is still seemingly unsettled at the club.
Philippe Coutinho has not managed to take his chances and he has always been in and out of the team.
Ernesto Valverde’s side has now shortlisted a replacement for the inevitably outgoing former Liverpool winger in Villarreal sensation Samuel Chukwueze.
The 19-year-old Nigeria international has enjoyed a breakthrough spell in the Valencian Community and some of Europe’s top European clubs are gunning for his services, as reported by the Fox Sports.
Villarreal are out of the relegation zone now and Samuel Chukwueze has been one of their best players this season.
However, the Yellow Submarine always ambitions to play in the Europa League or better and their failure in doing so for the next campaign may come at the cost of one of their brightest talents.
