ManchesterUnited and Spurs target Coutinho

Manchester United and Tottenham are interested in bringing Philippe Coutinho back to the Premier League while Alexis Sanchez faces an uncertain future... 

No Liverpool return for Coutinho 

Liverpool have “zero” interest in bringing Philippe Coutinho back to the Premier League. The Brazilian has struggled for form since leaving Anfield in 2018 and is expected to be sold by Barcelona when the next opportunity arises. However, the Daily Mirror say he won’t be heading back to Liverpool, but could instead move to Manchester United or Tottenham. Both clubs are reported to have asked about his services in recent weeks. 

Sanchez set to return to United 

Alexis Sanchez is facing an uncertain future as he looks set to return to Manchester United at the end of the season. The 31-year-old hasn’t made much of an impact during a season-long loan at Inter Milan, starting just one Serie A match this year. The Daily Telegraph say Inter are going to reject the chance to extend the loan, meaning Sanchez will return to United with two years left on his contract, which can be worth up to £500,000-a-week when bonuses are factored in. 

Everton confident of Magalhaes signing 

Everton are in contention to sign Lille defender Gabriel Magalhaes. Chelsea and Arsenal have been linked with the 22-year-old, but the Daily Telegraph report that Everton are confident they can beat their Premier League rivals to his signature. 

Premier League could be on free-to-air TV 
Some Premier League games could be shown on free-to-air television if they take place behind closed doors when the league resumes. The Daily Mirror report that Sky Sports and BT Sport have held talks over a red button service due to the number of fixtures that could be on at the same time. But the Premier League may also want every fixture to be shown live so supporters do not turn up outside grounds for safety and security reasons. All 20 top-flight clubs are set to meet again on Friday to discuss the best way forward.
