Hebei China Fortune have reportedly registered an interest in signing Barcelona midfielder Philippe Coutinho.

The Brazilian has scored 19 goals from 63 appearances in all competitions since linking up with Barca in January 2018, but the playmaker has recently found himself in and out of Ernesto Valverde's starting lineup.

Manchester United have been credited with an interest in the 26-year-old, but according to Don Balon, Hebei China Fortune are also admirers of the former Liverpool man.

The report claims that the Chinese Super League outfit are prepared to make Coutinho one of the best-paid players in the world, but Chris Coleman's team would only want to pay a fee of €60m (£51.39m).

However, it has been suggested that Coutinho has no interest in leaving Europe to take up a lucrative deal in Asia.
