Barcelona Reportedly Place Huge Price Tag on Philippe Coutinho Amidst Shock PSG Interest

Barcelona have slapped a huge €400m asking price on the head of star midfielder Philippe Coutinho, just months after he joined the club from Liverpool.

The 26-year-old playmaker only moved to Camp Nou in January, joining from the Reds for a fee believed to be around the £142m mark after add ons. Coutinho has made an impressive start to life with the Catalan giants, and as a result of his good form, has emerged as a shock candidate for Ligue 1 moneybags Paris Saint-Germain.

The Parisiens are reported to have held talks with Coutinho's agent over a proposed €270m switch, as they attempt to appease any potential unhappiness in the French capital that superstar Neymar may have.
