Philippe Coutinho’s nightmare 18 months at Barcelona look to be coming to an end with reports that three clubs have enquired after the Brazilian playmaker.

Coutinho has struggled to adapt to life at Camp Nou following his big-money from Liverpool last January.

The 26-year-old has been in and out of the Blaugrana starting XI and was even booed by his own fans earlier this season.

It seems that the hierarchy at Barça will admit defeat with Coutinho this summer and are looking for suitors.

Catalan daily Sport have revealed that a trio of clubs have been in contact with Barça as to Coutinho’s availability.

They claim that Chelsea, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain have all registered their interest and will likely make bids come the end of the season.

Chelsea are reportedly looking at Coutinho as a potential replacement for Eden Hazard should the start date of their transfer ban be extended by Fifa.

Neymar meanwhile has asked PSG to stump up the cash to land his countryman, while United are eyeing the playmaker should Paul Pogba leave for Real Madrid.

Barcelona will likely set an asking price of €110m.
