Saturday's Barcelona transfer talk news roundup: Philippe Coutinho, Jadon Sancho, Luis Suarez

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Barcelona on Saturday, August 15.

The summer transfer window has now begun, with rumours and speculation continuing to swirl as Barcelona eye possible reinforcements.

The Spanish champions spent big on Antoine Griezmann last summer but missed out on a big-name striker in January and have been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic, meaning that selling players rather than buying could be their priority this summer.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer news from the Camp Nou.

Saturday morning's Barcelona transfer talk news roundup:


Philippe Coutinho agent opens door to Barcelona stay amid Arsenal links

Philippe Coutinho's agent Kia Joorabchian has insisted that his client could still stay at Barcelona this summer.

The 28-year-old is widely expected to leave Camp Nou during the current transfer window, having been loaned out to Bayern Munich this season and told that he is not part of Barca's long-term plans.

Bayern have decided against triggering their option to buy clause while Barcelona need to sell players in order to trim their wage bill, and a return to the Premier League has been touted as the most likely option.

Arsenal were thought to be leading the race for Coutinho's signature, but Joorabchian insists that no decision will be made until after the Champions League campaign comes to an end.

"After the Champions League is finished, and whatever happens, then we'll sit down," he told talkSPORT.

"It could be that Barcelona is the ultimate destination. He loves the Premier League, but the finances and the numbers and the situation of COVID are going to play a big part.

"He's a big player with big numbers."

Coutinho, whose Bayern side face his parent club Barcelona in the quarter-finals of the Champions League this evening, has scored nine goals and created eight more in 35 appearances for the German outfit this season.



Jadon Sancho 'could push for Manchester United move'

Borussia Dortmund attacker Jadon Sancho could reportedly push for a move to Manchester United this summer if the Red Devils make an offer for him.

BVB have insisted that the England international will not be leaving Signal Iduna Park during this summer's transfer window and recent comments from the former Manchester City youngster seemed to suggest that he was planning to stay in Germany.

However, according to Sky Sports News, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side are 'not giving up' on the 20-year-old, who was involved in Dortmund's first pre-season friendly on Wednesday.

The report also claims that Sancho 'could push for a move' to Old Trafford if the 20-time English champions were to launch an offer.

The attacker - thought to be valued by his current side in the region of £108m - scored 20 times and registered 20 assists in 44 appearances for Lucien Favre's team last term.

A recent report claimed that United were weighing up potential alternatives and had again approached Barcelona to discuss the possibility of signing Ansu Fati.
