Barcelona are offering Arsenal the chance to sign Philippe Coutinho on a player-plus-cash swap deal that will see out of favor Arsenal man Matteo Guendouzi move to Camp Nou.

Barcelona are have told Arsenal that if they want Philippe Coutinho they need to table an offer of Matteo Guendouzi plus £45.5m.

Coutinho’s £142m dream move has gone up in flames and Nou Camp chiefs are looking at ways to shift him off the wage bill.

Barcelona are prepared to let the former Liverpool star move to the Emirates in a player-plus-cash deal, with Guendouzi going the other way, according to reports coming from French outlet Foot Mercato,

Guendouzi has fallen out with Gunners boss Mikel Arteta over a series of disciplinary incidents and his future at the club looks uncertain.

Arteta is a fan of Coutinho but trying to fund his £240,000-per-week wages as well as the transfer fee could prove a big stumbling block.

It was earlier reported that Arsenal made an offer for the player but He rejected initially as the club can’t afford his full wage. However, in the last few days he asked the North London club for more time to decide if he would accept a pay-cut.

Negotiations are said to be progressing well, but, if Coutinho cannot be included in a deal, Barca are offering midfielders Ivan Rakitic and Arturo Vidal in exchange for Guendouzi instead.

The north Londoners are financially struggling after missing out on the Champions League for the fourth season in a row.
