Neymar, number 10 of Santos, is making a public campaign to convince Philippe Coutinho to sign for the Brazilian club. The Brazilian forward has been using social media and public interventions to pressure for the signing of his former national team teammate.
Philippe Coutinho is currently free on the market, without any affiliation to any club. The attacking midfielder hasn't played since February, when he left Aston Villa, having been without playing for several months.
The possible transfer comes at a time of renewal at Santos, with Neymar taking a leadership role in the club's sporting project. Coutinho's arrival would represent a significant reinforcement for the team.
The two players share an old friendship and have already played together for the Brazilian national team, which facilitates the rapprochement between the two and the negotiation for the transfer.
