<\/p>\n

Barcelona ace, Philippe Coutinho has admitted that he could leave Nou Camp amid interest from Manchester United after just 18 months at the club.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST had reported that the Brazil international had drawn interest from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer\u2019s side in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

The midfielder is among the seven players placed by Barcelona on transfer list.<\/p>\n

Barcelona are open to selling Coutinho in this summer\u2019s transfer window, but are demanding a transfer fee of at least \u00a380million for the player.<\/p>\n

Coutinho has failed to impress since arriving from Liverpool in a \u00a3105million deal in January 2018 despite playing his part in two La Liga title wins.<\/p>\n

A disappointing performance against his former club at Anfield saw Barcelona crash out of the UEFA Champions League last season, raising more questions about the 26-year-old.<\/p>\n

Asked about his future with Barca amid interest from Man United, Coutinho was quoted by Metro UK as telling reporters: \u201cI don\u2019t know if I will continue at Barcelona.<\/p>\n

\u201cNobody knows about the future, and right now I am focused on playing with my national team at the Copa America.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coutinho is currently on international duty for the 2019 Copa America in Brazil.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
