Chelsea alerted as Barcelona slash price for Coutinho

Barcelona are putting Philippe Coutinho up for sale.

Currently on-loan at Bayern Munich, Coutinho is set to be sent back to his parent club at the end of the season.

Mundo Deportivo says Bayern have no interest in triggering the €120m option in Coutinho's deal.

Instead, Barca will seek to sell the Brazil international this summer - and at a knockdown €90m price. Barca signed the midfielder two years ago from Liverpool for a fee rising to €145m.

A return to England has been mooted for Coutinho, who was keen to join Chelsea last year only for their transfer ban to thwart the deal.
