We're being linked with another attempt to sign Lemar in January:

Barca based rags are still reporting that Coutinho will join them and Sport have again put their *******s on the line and claimed it's a done deal for €150m in January. I've lost count of the amount of times they claimed it was done during the summer so I'd take that with a pinch of salt. That said, if we are genuinely in for Lemar in January then it could very well mean that Coutinho's off, if not in Jan but definitely in the summer.
Coutinho to Barca in January doesn't make much sense to me. Why pay a premium to get him in January as opposed to early next summer when you're fairly comfortable at the top of La Liga and he'll be cup tied for the CL?
