Former Newcastle United midfielder John Barnes says they should move for Liverpool attacker Philippe Coutinho.
Barnes, speaking with BonusCodeBets, reiterated that the Magpies are still firmly in a relegation battle this season despite the link between his former club and the current Barcelona attacking midfielder.
“Philippe Coutinho in the long term could be a positive move for Newcastle. He’s a great player, but when you’re in a relegation dogfight, is he the type of player they’d want?,” said Barnes.
”People are getting carried away thinking about Newcastle signing players that will cost £100 million, when realistically they just need to stay up this season.”
He added: “As to whether Coutinho will go on loan, it could be possible.
”We know what an excellent player he is, and it’d be a good signing for them. It doesn’t mean their situation [the relegation battle] will suddenly change.”
