DBasia.news – Neymar advised PSG (Paris Saint-Germain) to recruit Barcelona compatriot, Philippe Coutinho. Neymar believes the player can add to PSG’s quality of play.

Until now, Coutinho was still the second choice for Ernesto Valverde. Moreover, Coutinho’s physical condition is also still not at an optimal position.
French media, Paris United, reported that Neymar had asked PSG to purchase Philippe Coutinho. Reportedly, Les Parisiens was willing to fulfill Neymar’s request.
However, Paris Saint-Germain is rumored to collide with Barcelona’s wishes. El Barca is back to selling players to Paris Saint-Germain after releasing Neymar in 2017.
In addition, PSG also has rivals from the Premier League. Coutinho has reportedly attracted Chelsea and Manchester United.
The Blues wanted to make Philippe Coutinho as the leader of Eden Hazard who is closer to Real Madrid. Meanwhile, the Red Devils need more effort to convince Coutinho as they do not compete in the Champions League.
Philippe Coutinho has only scored five goals in 34 matches in LaLiga. In addition, the player also made two assists.
