Philippe Coutinho
It looks as though Philippe Coutinho could be on his way to Bayern Munich soon, if this tweet below is anything to go by:

The former Liverpool star has flopped at Barca and it makes sense that he could try to revive his career in the Bundesliga.
Bayern need attacking players after losing both Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery, and Coutinho could be an ideal replacement if he can get back to anything near his peak form.
Ousmane Dembele
Another Barcelona outcast, Ousmane Dembele’s future has been the subject of speculation for some time now.
The Independent recently claimed the France international was offered to PSG as part of a bid to sign Neymar, though it proved unsuccessful.
Don Balon also previously linked Liverpool and Bayern Munich as admirers of Dembele, so one imagines he’ll still have suitors in the final weeks of the transfer window and could be a player worth watching.
Tiemoue Bakayoko
Back at Chelsea after a decent loan spell at AC Milan last season, Tiemoue Bakayoko’s future remains up in the air.
The Daily Express link Bakayoko with a possible return to Ligue 1 with either PSG or Monaco, which makes sense as he previously looked superb in the French top flight.
Chelsea are now expected to turn to home-grown talent under new manager Frank Lampard, so probably don’t have room for the ineffective Bakayoko.
Dejan Lovren
Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren has been linked with an initial loan move with a view to a permanent transfer, according to Sky Italia, as translated by Football Italia.
The Croatia international makes sense as someone at Anfield who could be surplus to requirements after falling down the pecking order.
Some Reds fans may see it as a bit of a risk given a relative lack of depth at the back, but Lovren is certainly another name who seems likely to be on the move before the transfer window is completely closed.
Mauro Icardi
A quality player who’s lost his way somewhat at Inter Milan, Mauro Icardi makes sense as another potential late mover this summer.
Romelu Lukaku’s arrival surely threatens his place in the Inter starting XI, and Tuttosport have linked him with a move to rivals Juventus.
Diario Gol also claim Real Madrid have been offered Icardi, so there’s certainly potential for big clubs to make a quality signing before the end of the summer.
