Liverpool are crazy about Barcelona midfielder Andre Gomes and have a chance of landing him as part of Philippe Coutinho’s move in the opposite direction, according to Catalan newspaper Mundo Deportivo.
Brazil international Coutinho, aged 25, looks increasingly likely to move to Camp Nou after emerged that he is would like to make an amicable move to Camp Nou and that he has dropped his work-rate in training in an effort to seal his move. Barca coach Ernesto Valverde is said to be keen to keep hold of Gomes, but the Catalan giants will have a decision to make if the Reds try to make landing the 24-year-old a condition of the Coutinho deal.
Gomes has been at Barcelona for one season since moving from Valencia in a deal worth €35m, plus €20m in add-ons. He made 47 appearances in 2016/17, of which 30 came in La Liga, and scored three goals.
He had previously spent two seasons with Valancia, who he joined from Benfica.
Yeh, the same to be honest.I generally don't read anything from ESPN, but when they make an announcement like that it makes you sit up and wonder.
Fuck, 100%.

Haha...I'm not falling for their guessing game.It appears to be missing out the Firm near the top of the reliability chart.

We've heard similarly precise sums in relation to Keita. The ESPN report says everything we need to know, that Catalan sources have told this to an ESPN reporter. This is the standard modus operandi, isn't it?Well the slightly worrying thing about the ESPN report is the specificity regarding the fee:
Barcelona have reached an agreement with Liverpool to sign Philippe Coutinho after the Brazilian put pressure on the Premier League club to let him leave, sources close to the Catalan club told ESPN Deportes' Jordi Blanco.
Coutinho is set to join Barca for a base fee of €90 million (£81.6m), with bonuses that could bring the deal to €120m (£108.8m), as the Catalan club begin to spend the €222m they received from Paris Saint-Germain for Neymar last week.
Thats the kind of info the buying club would leak.

So Gary Lineker is the source?We've reached the point now where the Wikipedia notion of 'verification' - viz. if enough daft people say 2+2 is 5, then 5 is a 'proper' answer - has infiltrated football. Some idiot, covered in crisps, stares blankly at NewsNow, sees a new report, tweets it, then other people, similarly covered in crisps, also tweet it, and it's announced as almost certainly true because loads of blokes, covered in crisps, have now tweeted it. Blimey.
