The former Liverpool man, who is on loan at Bayern Munich, is a target for Frank Lampard, claims Sport. Chelsea are reported to have made contact with Barca over the terms of a potential deal and the London club have also contacted Coutinho’s representatives. The source claim Chelsea want to bring in Coutinho on loan with the option to buy, as Lampard looks to increase his midfield options at Stamford Bridge.
