Jose Mourinho considering giving go-ahead for €60M bid to bring Barcelona ace to Tottenham Mar 28th 2021, 22:14, by Jamie Wilkinson Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho is mulling over the potential acquisition of former Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho from Barcelona, according to Don Balon. Coutinho's dream move to Barca has not worked out quite as planned. The Brazilian was one of the best in the Premier League during his time at Liverpool, and missed out on the most successful period in the Reds' recent history in order to pursue success at the Nou Camp.

Naturally, a return to the Premier League, where he made a name for himself, could be an appealing option for him, and if Don Balon are to be believed, Jose Mourinho could be set to facilitate it. Philippe Coutinho has struggled at Barcelona. As per Don Balon, Jose Mourinho is considering adding Coutinho to his squad, with Spurs still a few players short of being able to mount a legitimate title challenge, or even get their way back into top four contention. Coutinho, were he able to return to his best performance level, could be the difference maker that they need. Don Balon claim that Barca want €60M in exchange for him, which is a hefty figure for Tottenham to be paying. Though, that is the price that needs to be paid if you have serious ambitions, both domestically and in Europe. The real question is whether Coutinho is the man that they want to be paying it for.
