In a message that is no longer published on its website, Barcelona’s kit suppliers appeared to announce the signing of Philippe Coutinho.
Was it a hack or, on the contrary, an involuntary advance notice on the part of the brand? “Philippe Coutinho is ready to shine in the Camp Nou.
Get the 2017/18 FC Barcelona kit with the name of the ‘magician.’ Hurry, free personalisation is only available until January 6th,” stated the Nike website.
In the last few weeks, they have been in contact with Liverpool to try to move the situation forward, although they’ve been unable to do so according to Marca.
But in a complete contrast, Spanish football authority, Guillem Balague insists there’s been no contact between both clubs.
He Tweeted:
On Coutinho. There has been no meetings with Barcelona, FCB have put no new offer (yet), LFC have put no price to him, there was no promise from LFC to him to sell him now, LFC are not forced to sell, but…
As there has been no new offer from FCB yet, we don’t know what LFC’s final stand. But they seem more ambiguous. “Nothing is forever… there’s always a solution” (Klopp). Are they planning to agree something for the summer? Open to huge offer? Things clearer when FCB sends offer
