Why Dembele will determine Coutinho’s fate at Barcelona

Ousmane Dembele could hold the key to Philippe Coutinho’s future at Barcelona, reports in Spain suggest.

A few months ago, Dembele was seemingly on the verge of leaving Barcelona having been warned about his professionalism.

The Frenchman has since established himself in Ernesto Valverde’s starting XI forcing Coutinho to play second-fiddle.

Coutinho, 26, is said to be unhappy with his situation with reports linking him with a sensational move to Manchester United.

Marca say that IF Dembele continues to impress and improve – then life for Coutinho will be very difficult.
