Barcelona and Bayern have started negotiations over the Brazilian winger Philippe Coutinho for a potential loan deal at the end of the summer transfer period. With the arrival of Antoine Griezmann, Coutinho has lost his starting line-up position due to his lack of good games this past season. He arrived from Liverpool for a fee of $145 million. 

Coutinho was announced as a major signing for Barcelona last season, only to score 13 goals in 51 caps, losing his starting position at the end of the previous season to Ousmane Dembele. He has been connected to a player swap between Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain for Neymar but since the transfer window has been closed in the Premier League, his move to Arsenal has been called off. 

After signing Ivan Perisic from Inter, Bayern is focused to get one more major signing before the start of the Bundesliga next week and their attention is turned towards Coutinho. He is supposed to arrive on a loan deal until the end of the 2019-20 season with a buy-out option after the contract ends. The only problem that might occur is that Bayern has to pay Philippe the same amount that he receives in Barcelona – $11 million per season.

Brazilian legendary left-back Dani Alves left European Football this week after his contract with French champions Paris Saint-Germain came to an end. He signed for the Brazilian Serie A team Sao Paulo on a free transfer.

The 36-year old is the only footballer in history that has won a total of 40 titles across national club competitions. He was presented to over 40,000 fans at the Morumba Stadion in Sao Paulo, including many famous Brazilian footballers such as Ricardo Kaka, who handed him the Number 10 shirt upon his signing of the three-year contract, lasting until 2022.

Upon his arrival in Sao Paulo, Alves stated that he is a lifelong Sao Paulo supporter and that one of his wishes before the end of his career is to sign for them.

Dani Alves started his career in Bahia back in 2001. From there, he went on loan to the Spanish team Seville, signing a long-term contract with the Andalusian team in 2003 after the 2003 FIFA Youth Championship.

Following his rise in Sevilla, Dani Alves was signed by Barcelona in 2008, making him one of the most expensive defenders in history. That move to Barcelona launched Alves to the top of the European football for the years to come.

The Italian Serie A club Roma has another player in their sights, as they weren’t successful in their attempt to sign the Belgian Toby Alderweireld from Tottenham.

Italian news outlets are reporting that now the club is after Liverpool’s Dejan Lovren and that the Croatian can be signed for the price of $23 million. The last season was not so great for the Croatian as he found it difficult to perform under the leadership of Jurgen Klopp and he had a hard time keeping up with his teammates.  

Reportedly, the Serie A club is expecting a significant lowering of the price because they have great relations with Liverpool which is apparently based on the personal closeness between the owners of the two great clubs.  

The 30-year-old Lovren has one more year on his contract with Liverpool and the club is risking to let him go free of charge if they miss this transfer window. Also, the player had a few injuries which further complicates the situation. Despite all this, the club’s officials have previously stated that they didn’t intend to sell the player during this summer.

In the next few days, we will see Roma‘s negotiating capabilities.
