HERE ARE THE good, the bad, and the unlikely football moves being talked about today…
With the 31 August transfer deadline fast approaching, Phillippe Coutinho‘s future still remains up in the air.
The Brazilian schemer has yet to line out for Liverpool this term, and the Reds have rejected three bids from Barcelona — the latest of which is reportedly worth €125 million.
According to Mundo Deportivo in Spain, the Catalan giants could now turn their attention to bringing former Real Madrid winger Angel Di Maria — these days with Paris Saint-Germain — back to La Liga.
17-year-old Ryan Sessegnon is seen as one of the most promising young talents in English football right now. The left-sided Fulham teenager has represented England at U19 level and both Manchester United and Tottenham are believed to be interested in signing him.
And Sky Sports reports that United would be willing to loan Sessegnon back to the Championship club if a deal was struck.
