The Brazilian has not worked at Barca but is still admired in England

Chelsea could become Philippe Coutinho’s destination. The Blues have prepared an offer for Barcelona as they bid to replace Eden Hazard, who is poised to join Real Madrid.

Per the Metro, Chelsea are ready to move for the Brazilian, as long as their transfer ban gets postponed.

The Blues will make a 140m pound (158m euros) offer for the midfielder, say the daily newspaper.

Coutinho has struggled at Barcelona but shone in the Premier League with Liverpool and is still well regarded in England.

Europa League champions Chelsea, poised to lose their key player in Hazard, will need to replace him well ahead of next season.
