Barcelona president Laporta eager to raise cash selling Coutinho

Barcelona president Joan Laporta hopes to raise cash by selling Philippe Coutinho.

Sport says Barcelona are restructuring because of their economic crisis. Last summer they sold several players and there are more names who need to go. Samuel Umtiti is one and Laporta is also keen to sell Coutinho.

The Brazilian, Barcelona's all-time record signing, has struggled since joining from Liverpool.

Newcastle have been linked with a move for midfielder Coutinho.
