A summer return to England for Barcelona midfielder Philippe Coutinho is likely.
The Sunday Express says Coutinho has been told he can leave Barcelona for a cut-price £77m this summer in the hope of attracting Premier League interest. The Brazilian playmaker is currently on loan at Bayern Munich, and they have got a £102m option to make the deal permanent.
Barcelona want to make several changes to their squad this summer and are planning to offload a number of players to fund the revolution under Quique Setien.
The Catalan giants are eager to ensure that they can sell Coutinho, who has already attracted interest from Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City and Tottenham.
They are willing to take a massive hit on the £142m they paid Premier League champions-elect Liverpool to lure him to Spain in January 2018.
