Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly submitted a bid in the region of £239m to price midfielder, Philippe Coutinho from Barcelona this summer.

According to Mundo Deportivo, the Ligue 1 giants have not directly contacted Barcelona but submitted their world-record offer to one of Coutinho’s representatives.

Barcelona, however, are not willing to sell the Brazilian international and would only allow him to leave if PSG met his £353m release clause.

Coutinho has made 22 appearances in all competitions for Barca since joining the club for £142m from Liverpool in January.
