Plenty of Everton fans have reacted to a latest report linking them with Barcelona midfielder Philippe Coutinho.
The Toffees are looking to build their squad in what will be Carlo Ancelotti’s first summer transfer window, and they have now been told that they can sign him for almost half the price Barca paid for him.
27-year-old midfielder Coutinho has emerged as a target with La Liga giants Barca keen to sell the former Liverpool man.
Currently on loan with Bayern Munich, Coutinho has been informed that the Bundesliga club will not look to make the move a permanent one and that he will instead return to the Camp Nou.
Joining Barca from Liverpool in January 2018 for a fee rising to £142m, it was expected that Coutinho would go on to play a key part in the Catalan side’s future, but after just two seasons he was deemed surplus to requirements.
Now, linked with a move to Everton, Goodison Park fans will remember the Brazilian for his time at nearby rivals Liverpool.

They paid £105m. The rest was add ons which a lot of them won’t have been met.
