Chelsea want Barcelona attacker Philippe Coutinho to replace Eden Hazard next season, provided they can get their transfer ban overturned.

Real Madrid are preparing a new £106 million ($134m) bid for Eden Hazard to finally complete the transfer of the Chelsea star, according to the Telegraph.
The La Liga giants have failed to meet Chelsea’s £100m valuation thus far, but are expected to give in to their demands in hopes of completing a deal quickly.
Following the Europa League triumph over Arsenal, Hazard admitted he thought it would be his final game at Chelsea.
Newcastle boss Rafa Benitez has been touted as a possible successor to Claudio Ranieri at AS Roma, according to Gazzetta Dello Sport.

Benitez guided Newcastle to 13th in the Premier League last season and is not expected to leave the club this summer.
