Hello and welcome to the daily Barcelona transfer round-up - your one-stop shop for all the latest Manchester United transfer news and rumours!
Without further ado, let's have a look at the top stories concerning the LaLiga leaders today.
Latest on Philippe Coutinho's transfer reports
Over the last 24 hours, there have been a lot of rumours of Premier League giants Manchester United showing interest in Barcelona midfielder Philippe Coutinho.
But, Barcelona’s director of institutional and sporting relations Guillermo Amor has claimed that the Brazilian still has a future at Camp Nou despite his lack of playing time.
Ever since his move to the Spanish giants from Liverpool last year, Coutinho has had mixed fortunes at the club as he has been in and out of the side. The former Liverpool man's last start for the Catalans in LaLiga came on December 2 and he is reportedly unhappy at the club.
However, Amor has said that Coutinho still has a future at the club and he believes that the 26-year-old still has “a lot to offer”.
“Coutinho’s a player with a lot of experience, one of the best players in Europe and he is ready to play [for] five minutes or 90 minutes. He’s a player that thinks more about the team than himself and there are no doubts about him being one of the best players in the world.
"He’s always played well for Barca, he could play [every game] from the off. Barca signed him because he’s one of the best in the world and he’s going to give us a lot. He’s got many years left on his contract and a lot to give to Barcelona,” Amor said during an interview with Movistar.
Update on Jean-Clair Todibo's move
Toulouse star Jean-Clair Todibo, who has been linked with Barcelona for a while now, could finally move to Catalunya soon as Barcelona are interested in signing him and loaning him till the end of the season.
Barca are now in talks with Toulouse to sign him this month and if both the clubs can sort out the fee, the defender could move to Camp Nou in the coming days and go out on loan for six months. If this deal fails to go through, he will stay at Toulouse, where he's not playing as punishment for turning down a contract renewal offer.
Since Tobido only has six months left on a non-professional deal, Barcelona will also try to agree to a compensation package with the French club. The management is currently negotiating a compensation package, formally known as a development fee, for signing an under-23 player on a free transfer, with the Ligue 1 side.
Lazio want Malcom on loan
Brazil winger Malcom has been one of the most sought-after players in Europe as he has attracted interest from a few clubs including Chinese Super League club Guangzhou Evergrande and Everton. The latest club to join the race to sign the 21-year-old is Lazio as the Serie A side are interested in getting the winger on loan till the end of the season.
It is understood that Lazio sporting director Igli Tare has entered into negotiations with Barcelona over a potential deal, with club president Claudio Lotito contacting the Barça board. However, Barca have not shown any interest in allowing Malcom leave the club, even on loan, as they consider him one of the crucial members of the side, especially with some crucial matches coming up.
Since joining Barcelona for €42 million, Malcom has managed to play a total of 296 minutes across nine appearances in all competitions.
Arsenal interested in Denis Suarez
It looks like Arsenal are interested Barcelona midfielder Denis Suarez. It has been reported that Suarez is unhappy at Barcelona at the moment as he has made just six appearances and played a total of 221 minutes for the defending LaLiga champions across all competitions this season.
In December, Barcelona offered Denis Suarez to Arsenal and it looks like the Gunners are currently considering the proposal. The Londoners are interested in a loan deal till the end of the season, with an option to make the move permanent. The only thing that is halting the move is the fee as Barca are demanding something in the region of €22 million.
Apart from Arsenal, the Spanish international has attracted interest from West Ham, Arsenal, Everton and AC Milan. If he moves to Emirates, he will be reuniting with Unai Emery as the pair has already worked together at Sevilla.
