According to the report, interest is high in the former Liverpool player with Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Leicester City and the Toffees also potential suitors (per Sport).
Furthermore, Barcelona would want €90 million (£78.8m) for his transfer, or an obligatory €65 million (£56.9m) after a season on loan (per Sport), leaving Everton fans in disbelief.

What do we think?
Over the duration of the season so far, the 27-year-old has been the seventh-best performer for Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga with a stellar 7.17/10 average rating (per WhoScored), suggesting that Coutinho could be quite the catch.
However, with the attacker having made 201 appearances, in which he scored 54 and assisted 45 (per Transfermarkt), for the Reds, it would be a transfer that could cause quite the stir on Merseyside.
