Guillem Balague claims Leicester City have shown interest in Philippe Coutinho

The Catalan giants paid a massive £142 million to sign Coutinho from Liverpool in the January transfer window of 2018, but he has turned out to be a major flop for them.

The Brazilian has struggled to make an impact in La Liga and is currently out on loan at Bayern Munich.

Coutinho has scored nine goals and provided eight assists this season for Bayern but he hasn’t been used regularly. Bayern have an option to sign Coutinho for £105million on a permanent deal, but they are unlikely to take it up.
