The FC Barcelona did not achieve to close the past summer, in relation to the chapter of new signings, the arrival of names ilusionantes like Coutinho, Verratti or Gave María, at the same time that it had to regret some important drops in his staff. However, one of his pending accounts would be still in the orbit culé, and is that in the Camp Nou have not forgotten of Philippe Coutinho.
After having starred one of the 'serials' of the market of signings, with 'Transfer Request' included, the interest by the Brazilian would keep valid, in spite of the opposition of a Liverpool that already denied to leave him leave does some months.
The English wanted to ensure by all the means his presence in the return to the Champions League, but not even the big performance of the midfield player has saved them of a series that for the moment leaves a victory in the last seven parties.
The Brazilian does not need more reasons to attend to the call of the Camp Nou, but the position of the Barça is firm: Now it will command in the negotiation. Although the 'reds' went up to the vine with some requests of 200 million euros, the new offer will be equal to the last that presented , 80 million fixed euros more 30 in variables.
The club considers that it is the just quantity to close to Coutinho, and if in Anfield do not yield, there will be more attempts. It will not go up the bidding and will expect to that in Anfield go in in reason and to that the gravity futbolística, with the insistence of Coutinho in first line, serve to do that the 'reds' change to seem and access to the traspaso.
Coutinho, a signing ilusionante
Of what anybody doubts to these heights is that Philippe Coutinho would be an ideal signing for the Barça. With his arrival, Ernesto Valverde would have more alternative for a team that already has solutions, but that would give a jump of important quality if it confirms the arrival of the Brazilian to the staff. It will be complicated and could not being in January, but it will be necessary to be attentive until next summer.
Of the contrary, the FC Barcelona will bet by other players that has gone following closely along the last months, like Leon Goretzka that it could turn into a big opportunity of market, when finish agreement in 2018 with the Schalke 04. Seri Also keeps in the diary, to the equal that other names as I Gave María and Ander Herrera, these less likely.
