Barcelona Transfer News: Latest Rumours on Philippe Coutinho, Leonardo Bonucci

Barcelona are set to create a fresh squad to support Lionel Messi in his endeavours to help the team win silverware next term.

According to Simon Rice of Metro, Philippe Coutinho of Liverpool and Leonardo Bonucci of Juventus could be targeted after Messi was reported to have agreed to stay at the Camp Nou with his current deal running out. Barca will also approach Arsenal's Hector Bellerin as they upgrade their options after a disappointing season.

Coutinho could cost a huge sum after Liverpool quoted Paris Saint-Germain a price of £87 million for their prized attacker.

According to Telefoot (h/t Coral Barry of Metro), the Reds are prepared to sell if their asking price is met. The fee could force Barca to turn their attentions elsewhere, as they hold interest in PSG midfielder Marco Verratti.

Coutinho's reputation has continued to swell in the past two years, and he became a talisman for his club as they fought their way back into the UEFA Champions League.

The Brazilian played 31 games in the Premier League last season, scoring 13 goals and creating seven assists, per WhoScored.com.

Bonucci could also arrive in Catalonia in the near future, with the prized defender linked with a switch to Barca.

According to to Italian newspaper Tuttosport (h/t Metro's Barry), the Camp Nou giants have jumped ahead of Manchester City and Chelsea in the queue to sign the Italy international. 

Bonucci has developed into one of the premier centre-backs in world football and would give the Blaugrana a high-class addition to their defence.

Juve will want £60 million for their asset, per Tuttosport, but the high price would give Barca incredible security behind Messi and Co.

It is essential Barcelona shape their squad correctly in the coming weeks, as last season proved trophies can be dropped without depth available.

Barca have the most exciting attacking trio on the planet with the MSN trinity of Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar, but they need improved options across the board to win La Liga next season.
