The arrival of Philippe Coutinho in Paris could further the Ligue 1 Champions' chances of retaining Neymar Jr. whose future continues to be the subject of much speculation. In case, PSG decide to reject Coutinho, Barcelona are willing to include Ivan Rakitic in the operation.
Rakitic is one player who has been widely tipped to move away from Barcelona in the summer. Barcelona are not entirely convinced with the consistency of Dembele and are looking to bolster their attack as multiple previous signings made in that same regard have failed to work out.
