Coutinho will not go to Marseille

In recent days, the rumor of a possible incorporation of Coutinho to Olympique de Marseille has become quite accentuated. The Brazilian, who has returned to training with Barcelona, ​​could enter Sampaoli's plans, a rumor that has no basis, as AS has learned.

The midfielder is not the target of the Marseille team. In fact, there has not even been any rapprochement between OM and Barcelona, ​​since Pablo Longoria has already made several incorporations in midfield (Guendouzi and Gerson) and the high salary of the player is unfeasible for the historic Frenchman.

Therefore, and except for a radical turn of events, Coutinho will not wear the Olympique de Marseille shirt next season. According to internal club sources, his arrival is “impossible.” A dream for fans of the Sampaoli team that has completely faded in the last few hours.

For its part, in France, specifically L'Équipe published that the French team had begun to study economically the signing of Philippe Coutinho to the point that They would be in talks with a major sponsor to deal with the operation, and they would offer the player half of that salary and a transfer bonus of 10 million euros.
