da casino： Philippe Coutinho’s career hasn’t really gone in the direction he probably envisioned after he decided to leave Liverpool.
While the Reds went on to conquer Europe and make punters using their free bets very happy, the Brazilian flopped at Barcelona and was quickly shipped off to Bayern Munich on a loan deal. Of course, the Bavarians have an option to incorporate Coutinho permanently at the end of that spell for a reported sum of €120m (£102.6m).
But seeing how things for the 27-year-old quickly took a turn for the worse after an initial honeymoon phase, maybe his journey across Europe has not yet been completed.
This does, however, bring us to Tottenham Hotspur and their efforts to secure his transfer back in the summer of 2019.
According to the Sun’s recent report, Mauricio Pochettino is apparently a big fan of the Brazilian and is still fuming at the board for letting him slip through their fingers and into Bayern Munich’s embrace.

Still, there might be a silver lining in this story for Spurs as we don’t know for sure that the German giants will activate their £102.6m purchase option, especially since Coutinho is currently far from his brilliant best.
But a move to London would actually make more sense for him than staying put in the Bundesliga.
After all, Tottenham Hotspur’s relationship with Christian Eriksen is very much deteriorating and the great Danish playmaker has already experienced a slight dip in both form and game time as he has failed to start three of the north London outfit’s previous five fixtures in all competitions.
Not to mention that his contract is due to expire next summer and all of that combined make his transfer away from Spurs in the near future more than just a distant thought.
And who better to replace an elite playmaker than another one who offers roughly the same skill set, already has Premier League experience and is familiar and trusted by the coach?
Both players are currently far from their best but they still offer similar outputs: Eriksen has registered 1.5 shots and 1.4 key passes per game with one goal and one assist while Coutinho tallied 1.9 shots and 1.5 key passes per game with two goals and three assists.
They are also both attacking-minded midfielders who are good technically and offer a threat from range, which is also evident from their tallies above.
For Spurs, this would almost be a like-for-like replacement for such a big figure as Eriksen and for Coutinho, who can thrive in a system that relies on him and is centred around him, it would be a perfect opportunity to reinvigorate his career.
Before the full emergence of the Salah – Mane – Firmino trident, it was Coutinho who was Jurgen Klopp’s main man as the Brazilian bagged 12 goals and eight assists in his last campaign at Anfield.
Maybe he could do the same for Pochettino if he were to return to England.
On paper, it really does look like a win-win scenario.
And what of Barcelona? In theory, he could also try and reverse his misfortune at the Camp Nou but it’s more likely that the Catalans just leave the European giants to fight for their outcast while rubbing their hands with glee.
Only time will tell.
