  • COUT COUP

    Chelsea are in negotiations with Philippe Coutinho over a summer transfer, according to reports.

    The Brazilian, 27, is currently on loan at Bayern Munich from Barcelona for the season.

    But according to Sport, the Bavarians are unwilling to exercise their £105million option to buy him at the end of his spell.

    And now it is thought Chelsea made a march on Manchester United to land Coutinho by contacting the player's agent Kia Joorabchian, with whom they have a strong relationship.

  • CUT YOUR CLOTH

    Premier League stars are being urged to take a pay cut during the coronavirus pandemic with a potential £100million ready to be contributed to the fight.

    Clubs across Europe are instilling salary reductions to ensure regular staff are paid during football's lockdown – but English football is yet to agree on its next step.

    The latest official accounts on player wages, tallied by Deloitte, outline a massive £2.9billion earned annually across the top-flight.

    Given these numbers are for the 2017/18 season, they are undoubtedly higher now after salaries rose 15 per cent to reach that figure from the previous year.

    Therefore a simple two-month pay cut of 20 per cent across the board would raise at least £100m to ensure staff are paid and to help the NHS.

    And that figure rockets up to £150m if the cut is either extended to three months or two months' wages are reduced by 30 per cent.
