Neymar texting Coutinho could mean bad news for Liverpool 11:30: Neymar is trying to convince Philippe Coutinho to snub Barcelona in favour of Paris St-Germain, reports claim. Neymar is seemingly on the verge of joining Paris St-Germain, while Barcelona have identified Liverpool playmaker Coutinho to replace him. However, Spanish newspaper Sport claim Neymar has been texting Coutinho on WhatsApp - asking him to snub Barca and wait for PSG to make an approach. It's said Neymar has urged the PSG board to make further signings to strengthen the squad, and Coutinho was one of the names on their shortlist.
Because no one wants Coutinho to leave, and as Coutinho's manager it will be daft of him to say he is for sale.
True. But it would be even dafter to say strongly that he is not for sale then sell him 5 minutes later. It's the sort of thing you say when rumours are first put about, but at this stage a strong message is needed, and the resolve to back it up. Sometimes no means no, sometimes it means try a little harder - but this has really been going on long enough. Same with VvD and Keita to us. Time to **** or get off the pot for all concerned.
Replying to a question regarding the Brazilian’s future, the manager said: “If you say he is not available to be sold, where is the interpretation? The word ‘not’ means there is no interpretation. There is nothing new.”
I agree. The rest I think are now the usual last hope of a fee agent. Like this lever guy. He seems to have been linked with arsenal all summer as monaco asset strip yet now we are linked.

Good. Cracking player, just too many other excellent players in front of him at Bayern, perhaps moved to them too early in his career.
Loan to buy? That was Chelsea rumour a few days ago. Bayern want to sell and will only loan if their is sale at the end of it.
Loan to buy is alright but not great. Player (and sometimes the selling club too) can still change their minding before signing permanently
Depends on how its done. The Coman loan to Bayern was that Bayern had to buy at the end of the loan and Juve had to sell. Turns out that was a good deal in the end as Coman is quality, but I imagine Juve might have wanted to keep him by the end of the 2 years.
Milan make €60m Aubameyang offer Milan have made a €60m offer for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Borussia Dortmund. According to Calcio Mercato, Milan have offered €60m to Dortmund, but the Bundesliga side are demanding at least €80m for a deal to go through. The report also claims that Tottenham, Liverpool and Chelsea are interested in the centre forward. It was reported earlier this month that Premier League side Chelsea were closing in on a deal to sign Aubameyang for £65m, which was later quashed http://readbundesliga.com/2017/07/31/milan-make-e60m-aubameyang-offer/
Am I missing something with this!? One of the very best strikers in world football, openly up for grabs, no stupid games just pay what he's worth (and the price is more than reasonable) but no body has snapped him up!?!?
