Philippe Coutinho&nbsp;is set to be sold by Barcelona after his awful display in the club's Champions League defeat to Liverpool, according to<a href="http://www.espn.co.uk/football/soccer-transfers/story/3846580/coutinho-to-be-sold-after-barcelonas-ucl-horror-show-valverde-could-follow-sources" target="_blank"> ESPN FC</a>. Coutinho struggled in the semi-final against his former club, leading a club source to tell ESPN FC that&nbsp;"Coutinho is not a Barcelona player, that's been made clear." The Brazilian isn't likely to be the only casualty of Barcelona's collapse, with manager Ernesto Valverde's future also up in the air.&nbsp;

Chelsea and Real Madrid are nearing an agreement to make Mateo Kovacic's move to the Blues permanent, according to <a href="https://www.marca.com/en/football/real-madrid/2019/05/09/5cd4068b268e3ebe2f8b45b5.html" target="_blank">Marca.</a> In addition the two clubs near the completion of Eden Hazard's move to Real Madrid, but the transfers will be completed seperately of one another. Since he was on loan at Chelsea this year, Kovacic is not affected by the club's ban on registering new players next season.

Milan have made contact over Nice star&nbsp;Allan Saint-Maximin, but could miss out on him due to lack of Champions League football, according to <a href="https://www.calciomercato.com/en/news/exclusive-ac-milan-make-contact-to-sign-nice-star-no-champions-l-35610" target="_blank">Calciomercato.com</a>. While Saint-Maximin has done well this season, he and coach Patrick Vieira have not gotten along and Nice would take €35 million (£30m/$39m) for him this summer. However, Milan think that valuation is too high and would lack the funds for it anyway if they fail to secure Champions League football next term.

Antoine Griezmann is nearing a deal to join Barcelona, with the Atletico Madrid star willing to take a pay cut to join the La Liga champions, according to <a href="http://www.leparisien.fr/sports/football/mercato-direction-barcelone-pour-antoine-griezmann-09-05-2019-8068809.php#xtor=AD-1481423553" target="_blank">Le Parisien</a>. The France star flirted with Barcelona last season, only to stay with Atletico and sign a new deal after a programme called "La Decision." However, frustration this season has seen him reconsider and while Barca have&nbsp;maintained contact, their elimination from the Champions League has accelerated the process.&nbsp;

Liverpool received a bonus&nbsp;£4.3 million Philippe Coutinho&nbsp;transfer fee despite knocking Barcelona out of the Champions League, according to the <a href="https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-coutinho-barcelona-transfer-deal-16251944" target="_blank">Liverpool Echo</a>. Part of the&nbsp;£142 million ($185m) fee the Reds received for Coutinho was in the form of bonuses and reports suggested that specific one only triggered if Barca made the finals. However, it was actually triggered by Barca advancing to the quarter-finals, meaning their elimination at the hands of Liverpool had no impact on the fee.&nbsp;

Despite strong speculation about Manchester City signing Sporting midfielder Bruno Fernandes the player is not a target to replace Fernandinho.
