Barcelona ready to sell Coutinho to Chelsea as Hazard’s replacement

Barcelona’s hierarchy are bracing themselves for interest from Chelsea in Philippe Coutinho, as the Blues go in search of a replacement for Eden Hazard, Goal reports.

Although Coutinho wants to remain at Camp Nou despite a disappointing first full season, some members of the Blaugrana’s board of directors are keen to sell this summer.

The Brazil international has failed to impress since arriving from Liverpool in a ÂŁ105million deal in January 2018, despite playing his part in two LaLiga title wins.

A disappointing performance against his former club at Anfield, saw Barca crash out of Europe, raising more questions of the 26-year-old.

Chelsea, meanwhile, look set to lose Hazard this summer, with the forward very close to joining Real Madrid.
