 Coutinho's Agent Arrives in Barca for Talks Amid Neymar 

Philippe Coutinho's representative has arrived in Barcelona to continue negotiations surrounding the Brazilian's departure.

Giuliano Bertolucci landed in the Spanish city on Wednesday morning to discuss the midfielder's potential exit.

His trip to Spain came following a flight to France, where he had talks with representatives of Paris Saint-Germain, and a quick trip to Lisbon to hold talks with Brazilian side Flamengo over the future of another client, Mario Balotelli.
