FC Barcelona has a serious problem with Philippe Coutinho

When the past summer arrived to the bench of the FC Barcelona, Ronald Koeman was conscious of the economic difficulties of the club for fichar and thus it opted for asking the return of Philippe Coutinho. The mediapunta Brazilian began the season to a good level but, after a muscular injury, has not achieved to be the same and from the club are posing very seriously his immediate sale in January.

However, the reasons by which the FC Barcelona wishes traspasar to Philippe Coutinho in this market of signings​ of winter are much more economic that sportive and do not speak only of the millionaire wage of the player (that it reaches the 12 million euros by season). If the Brazilian plays ten parties more as Barcelona, the club will have to pay to the Liverpool 20 million euros.

It is necessary to remember that the FC Barcelona fichó to Philippe Coutinho in January of 2018 by a fixed part of 120 'kilos' that could increase until the 160 with the variable. Of all these quantities by aims, included a payment of 20 million euros in case that the carioca reached the 100 parties with the Barcelona T-shirt, something that could suceder in very little time.

The FC simple Barcelona and llanamente can not allow pay 20 million euros to the Liverpool and more taking into account that Philippe Coutinho is not being determinant. It is true that the Brazilian began to a good level, but his performance has turned off enough in the last weeks and, in these moments, is not neither usual headline, since the youngster Pedri has achieved to eat him a lot of terrain.

Neither like interior neither like extreme

Philippe Coutinho played well when Ronald Koeman gave him the mediapunta, but in the staff there are players that have showed to surrender above the carioca in this position, already was the own Pedri, Leo Messi or even Antoine Griezmann when it enjoys of freedom. In what Ronald Koeman has treated of escorar to the Brazilian in a side, his performance has gone back to fall remembering more to this player that exasperated in 2019.

The Dutch technician even has arrived to bet by Philippe Coutinho like interior in a 4-3-3, that is the role that the previous technical secretary Robert Fernández demanded for him when him fichó. But in said position the carioca has kept on being predictable. A performance that does not justify another payment of 20 millions, although the FC Barcelona will have a lot of difficulties to find a possible buyer. In time of crisis, few can disburse high quantities in traspasos and wages, and more by a player that does not offer guarantees.
