Arsenal and Everton are reportedly keeping tabs on Coutinho's injury situation. The Brazilian became a star at Liverpool and has already proved himself in the Premier League. He had also shown signs of improvement at Barcelona before picking up an injury in December.

Barcelona considering Roberto Martinez as potential Ronald Koeman replacement

Belgium v Iceland - UEFA Nations League

As per ESPN, Belgium international team manager Roberto Martinez has emerged as a potential replacement for Ronald Koeman. Barcelona president Joan Laporta reportedly met with Koeman and told him that he is yet to make a decision and that he needs time to talk to potential replacements.

Joan Laporta is not convinced by Koeman and has reportedly already held talks with Hans-Dieter Flick and Julian Nagelsmann. Martinez is the latest addition to the list of candidates. But the report also claims that the Belgium manager is happy with his current job.

However, he does have a release clause in his contract in the event of a big club approaching him with a job. For now, Martinez is fully focused on the upcoming Euros.

Barcelona considering resigning Jordi Masip

Valencia CF v Real Valladolid CF - La Liga

Barcelona are looking to bolster their goalkeeping department this summer and have identified Real Valladolid's Jordi Masip as a potential transfer target, according to Mundo Deportivo.

Masip is a product of 'La Masia' and spent 10 years at Barcelona and made his first-team debut in 2014. He left the club in 2017 and has since helped Valladolid gain promotion and return to La Liga.

With Norberto Neto set to leave the club in the summer, the Catalans are looking to bring in a seasoned campaigner. Barcelona have also previously been linked with Andre Onana of Ajax.
