Barcelona 'want to keep Antoine Griezmann, Philippe Coutinho this summer'

Barcelona are reportedly planning to keep Antoine Griezmann and Philippe Coutinho at the club beyond the end of this summer's transfer window.

Both players have been linked with moves away from Camp Nou in the current market, as the Catalan giants desperately attempt to address their financial problems.

There is thought to be interest from the Premier League in the two attackers, but according to Mundo Deportivo, neither Griezmann nor Coutinho have been placed on the transfer list.

The report claims that head coach Ronald Koeman wants the pair to be a part of his first-team squad next season, and that will be the case unless an exceptional offer arrives for either player.

Barcelona have boosted their attack this summer with the arrivals of Sergio Aguero and Memphis Depay on free transfers, but Lionel Messi has still not officially signed a new deal at Camp Nou.

Koeman's team, who beat Stuttgart 3-0 in a friendly on Saturday, will open their 2021-22 La Liga campaign with a home match against Real Sociedad on August 15.
