Barcelona Transfer News: Eden Hazard, Philippe Coutinho Eyed to Replace Neymar

Barcelona will reportedly use Neymar's impending departure to Paris Saint-Germain to fund the purchase of both Eden Hazard and Philippe Coutinho.

The Sun's Martin Lipton exclusively reported the Catalan giants will target the Chelsea and Liverpool men using the £198 million they're set to receive for Neymar, with Hazard intended to be a "a statement signing."

He'd also be a direct replacement for the Brazilian in the left slot of Barca's front three, and the club "have already asked a third party to sound out the Belgian forward" regarding a move.
