Coutinho, 27, joined Barca from Liverpool for £143million just 18 months ago.

But in the 18 months since becoming the club's record signing, he's failed to show his best at the Nou Camp.

And Coutinho faces an uncertain future following Antoine Griezmann’s £107m arrival from Atletico Madrid.

It’s now claimed Barcelona are actively looking to offload the Brazil international.

But there hasn’t been one offer for Coutinho so far this summer, despite the La Liga champions needing to sell to balance their books.

It’s reckoned Barca are looking for £107m to recoup the amount they spent on Griezmann.

Liverpool had been linked with bringing Coutinho back to Anfield.

But Jurgen Klopp recently claimed the Champions League winners can’t afford to put a deal together.

And long-term suitors Manchester United are said to now be leading the race.

However, it remains to be seen if Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will sanction a move should the Red Devils end up signing Paulo Dybala from Juventus and Bruno Fernandes from Sporting Lisbon.

PSG are also understood to be keeping a close eye on Coutinho, with world-record signing Neymar linked with a move back to Catalonia.
