Coutinho in the dark over Barcelona future

Former Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho admits his future at Barcelona is uncertain.

The Brazilian forward is being linked with PSG, Manchester United and Chelsea following a disappointing second season at the Nou Camp.

He could be used as a make-weight in a deal which would see Neymar return to Barcelona after two years in Paris.

Barca have also been heavily linked with a move for Antoine Griezmann, who announced last month that he'll leave Atletico Madrid this summer, but Off The Ball's European football expert Graham Hunter says the Spanish champions can't afford the French World Cup winner and Neymar.

 

 

Coutinho says he's now concentrating on the Copa America with Brazil and doesn't know if Barcelona will look to sell him this summer.

"I have a contract with Barcelona, it was always my will to succeed in this club, but now I am totally concentrated here.

"Many things that come out in the media are simply not true but as for my future we do not know what is going to happen, that is the truth.

"Honestly, it wasn't a good season. It didn't produce what I wanted, it didn't go as I hoped," he added.

"But I hope it serves me as an example, as a lesson so that I want more, concentrate even more to be able to succeed.

"Whether a good or bad season it doesn't change anything. The desire to win is always the same, or maybe even more so."
