Barcelona offer Philippe Coutinho transfer hint as Antoine Griezmann squad number 'announced'

La Liga giants Barcelona have announced they have completed the signing of Antoine Griezmann from Atletico Madrid, and it could spell the end for ex-Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho.

According to reports in Spain the forward will wear the No.7 shirt currently occupied by the Reds' former playmaker.

Coutinho, who made the move from Anfield to the Camp Nou in 2018, initially wore the No.14 before being presented with the number seven.

AS have reported the World Cup winner with France will now occupy the No.7, which could hint at Coutinho's departure after a torrid couple of seasons in Catalunya.
