Barcelona 'make Philippe Coutinho, Ousmane Dembele available for swap deals'

Barcelona have reportedly made Philippe Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele available for swap deals during the summer transfer window.

Coutinho and Dembele arrived at Camp Nou following £100m+ moves from Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund respectively, but the pair have struggled to make a lasting impact in La Liga.

Coutinho has spent this season on loan at Bayern Munich, while Dembele has only made five appearances in Spain's top flight during an injury-hit 2019-20 campaign.

The Telegraph reports that Barcelona are aiming to negotiate swap deals rather than big-money transfers amid the coronavirus pandemic, and would be willing to part ways with the attacking duo.

The report also suggests that Arthur Melo is another player that Quique Setien's side would be happy to offload, as they look to secure a deal for Juventus midfielder Miralem Pjanic.

Newcastle United have supposedly joined the race for Coutinho's signature, and Dembele is allegedly being monitored by both Arsenal and Manchester United.
