Philippe Coutinho Transfer: Agent furious with Barcelona after Coutinho's inclusion in Neymar's swap deal

Philippe Coutinho is furious with Barcelona after the inclusion of the Brazilian in Neymar’s swap deal. 

Kia Joorabchian, agent of Philippe Coutinho, is angry with Barcelona for the double-game. The Brazilian was included in Neymar’s swap deal with PSG, which came as a huge shock for the player’s representatives.

Last week, Barcelona president Josep Bartomeu gave his clear-cut stance by keeping Philippe Coutinho for the upcoming season despite persisting exit rumours.

Kia said: “As I told you last time, Pep Segura (Barca’s football director) told me that Coutinho was not available for a departure from Barcelona. The president was clear: he had no intention of selling the player, to any club. With this speech, we chose not to look at the market for our player, out of respect for Barcelona’s decision to keep it, so we have not offered the player to other clubs.”

Barcelona’s recruiter for South America, Andre Cury was pushing Coutinho to the exit door which came as total infuriation to Kia Joorabchian. He was silently eyeing about the return of Neymar and believed the Barcelona’s record signing could pave way for him at Nou Camp, with the club getting benefitted from the deal.

After learning about this issue, Kia Joorabchian iterated that he would take the best possible solution for Philippe Coutinho in the summer window.

“Barça must tell the truth”

“But I learned,” continues Kia Joorabchian,

“And it’s a fact that André Cury (Barcelona recruiter for South America) is making a totally different speech, and he is pushing for Coutinho to be included in the transfer.

“Neymar with PSG As I told you, Coutinho has no offer from another club because we respected the decision of Barcelona, ​​but they do not respect the word they held us. We have kept silence in this period, but this will not be allowed for Barcelona to lie about the player. They must tell the truth! And if they want Coutinho to leave, they have to say it. And with the player, we will decide what is best for his future. ” said Kia.

Here’s how Twitter has reacted..
