Philippe Coutinho will stay at Barcelona

Barcelona's most expensive signing

As per latest reports, Barcelona have admitted that their most expensive signing Philippe Coutinho will not leave the club this summer. Barcelona had been trying to offload the former Liverpool man but now that the Premier League transfer window has shut and the big spenders are off the market, they have decided to keep Coutinho.

Both Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur were in the race to sign him. However, neither move materialized. Coutinho had impressed initially after joining from Liverpool, however, his form dipped greatly after that and he has failed to win the Barcelona fans over despite being handed several chances last summer.

Barcelona's frustration is furthered by the fact that Coutinho is one of the club's largest earners and is failing to justify that on the pitch. Barcelona are open to including him in any swap deal to land Neymar. However, PSG are not keen on selling Neymar back to Barcelona.
