5 blockbuster transfers that would shock the world in the summer of 2017

#4 Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona

Coutinho signed a new contract at Liverpool this season but may move if Barcelona are interested in his signature

Liverpool’s Brazilian playmaker has lit up the Premier League since arriving in 2013. He has shown he has an ability to hit the ball from outside of the box like no other, conjure up chances from nothing and play fancy tricks and flicks with aplomb.

Catalan giants, Barcelona, have long been admirers of the Brazilian and a club who will not struggle to convince him to make the switch from Merseyside. Furthermore, with Iniesta ageing, a replacement will soon become necessary, with Coutinho being the answer.

The 24-year-old is now heading into his prime and even though he recently signed a new contract at Liverpool in January, if Barcelona were to come calling and he was given the opportunity to play alongside his Brazilian team-mate Neymar, it’s unlikely that he would be able to say no.

This could shape up to be one of the most exciting and biggest signings of the summer.
