Arsenal, Chelsea and Man Utd transfer boost with Barcelona looking to offload Coutinho, Dembele and Malcom this summer
BARCELONA have put Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United on red alert with the club reportedly looking to sell Philippe Coutinho, Malcom and Ousmane Dembele.
The attacking trio have all flattered to deceive at the Nou Camp since joining the Catalan side, with the Blaugrana believed to be willing to offload them.
According to Spanish journalist Gerard Romero, Dembele has failed to win over Barca’s chiefs due to his attitude and physical weakness.
The French winger – who has been linked with the Gunners – incurred the wrath of the club earlier on in the season after repeatedly being late for training and missing meetings.
Romero has also stated that Malcom’s future is in doubt should Ernesto Valverde get the sack, with Belgium boss Roberto Martinez already being lined up as his replacement.
The 22-year-old has started just six La Liga games since joining from Bordeaux last summer, with Tottenham and Arsenal understood to be battling for his signature.
While Romero also claims that Coutinho could return to the Premier League just a year after leaving Liverpool following a season that yielded just 11 goals in 54 games.
Chelsea and the Red Devils have reportedly been offered the chance to sign the 26-year-old as he is not a “Barcelona player”.
A source told ESPN: “Coutinho is not a Barcelona player, that’s been made clear.”

Though the player last month begged the club not to offload him as he insisted his future at the Nou Camp.
