Barcelona midfielder Philippe Coutinho is counting down the days for Newcastle United to change hands.

While he's been linked with Tottenham and Chelsea - along with talk of him calling Jurgen Klopp about a return to Liverpool - it's emerged that Coutinho is eager to make the move to Newcastle.

That's according to Leo Messi's biographer Guillem Balague, who says a move will happen once Newcastle United are sold to the Saudi Arabian-backed PCP Capital Partners group.

Coutinho is now waiting for news of the takeover, with his representatives having convinced him about moving to Tyneside next season.
