Coutinho's agent to meet Barcelona officials; club wants to hold on to him
Philippe Coutinho's agents will meet Barcelona officials following their clash with Manchester United to discuss the Brazilian's future at the Camp Nou. The reports suggest that Barcelona wants to keep hold of Coutinho despite the player not being able to fulfil his potential after joining Barcelona amid huge fanfare in the winter transfer window of 2018.
Coutinho was expected to take over from Neymar. Though those were quite big shoes to fill in the first place, given how Coutinho was dictating games in the middle of the park in the Premier League, he was tipped to make sure Barcelona did not feel Neymar's absence.
However, after some quality showings in his first half-season as a Barcelona player, he has not managed to keep his performance levels as high and has cut a frustrated figure in recent times.
