Neymar urges PSG to go for unsettled Barcelona ace Coutinho

Neymar plans to stay with PSG - and already has an eye on a first summer signing.

Knowing Brazil teammate Philippe Coutinho is available from former club Barcelona, Neymar has urged PSG management to move for the midfielder.

Sport says Neymar has told president Nasser Al-Khelaifi to go for Coutinho, confident the midfielder would take the team to a new level.

Coutinho was close to joining in January 2018 before Barca agreed to meet Liverpool's €140m asking price. Indeed, he would already be a PSG player if Barca had decided against bidding for him.

Coutinho's agents are already in contact with PSG ahead of the summer market, though are also speaking with Manchester United and Chelsea.
