Newly appointed Barcelona boss Ronald Koeman is said to want to keep Philippe Coutinho in his squad for the 2020-21 campaign.
At the same time, Arsenal reportedly intends to make a fresh approach for the playmaker in the coming weeks.
While the Gunners were heavily linked to Coutinho’s move earlier in the summer transfer window, there was minimal talk about the switch to the Emirate Stadium in September.
However, according to Sport.es, Arsenal is not prepared to give up on the former Liverpool man, aware that the Catalan giants may need to strengthen their financial position.
After all, the La Liga giants have recently raised funds for the sale of Nelson Semedo and Arturo Vidal. And Luis Suarez is also on the verge of signing for Atletico Madrid. They may need to sell the Brazil international, as well.
The Premier League outfit (Arsenal) is thus feeling confident that Barcelona officials would allow Coutinho’s transfer to take place should they receive an appropriate offer.
