Arsenal, Barca In Talks Over Guendouzi, Coutinho Deal

Arsenal and Barcelona are reportedly in talks over a sensational swap deal between Matteo Guendouzi and Philippe Coutinho.

The Gunners, according to TheSun Uk, are keen to offload the French midfielder with Mikel Arteta freezing him out of the side following his antics away at Brighton last month.

He hasn’t been involved in any matchday squad since the 2-1 defeat at the Amex Stadium on June 20, leading to Barca and Real Madrid to become interested in the youngster.

Meanwhile the Blaugrana are desperate to get Philippe Coutinho off their wage bill having failed to prove himself at the Nou Camp since joining from Liverpool in 2018.

Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano announced on social media that Arsenal have been offering Guendouzi out to clubs with the player having no future at the Emirates.

Asked by a fan on what is the latest on Guendouzi, he tweeted: “Arsenal are offering him to many clubs to find a good swap deal. Let’s see. Transfers market has just started.”
