The exit from Philippe Coutinho of Barça in this winter market It is one of the operations that the Barça club has underway, with the clear objective of reduce salary mass and be able to register Ferran Torres. MD already reported a few days ago that the player has given consent to leave because he wants to have minutes to ensure his presence at the Qatar World Cup in 2022 and the Premier league, where he already played a total of six seasons at Liverpool, it seems his most likely destination.
Precisely the set ‘network‘, of which Barça signed him in January 2018 for 120 million euros fixed plus 40 million in variables, becoming the most expensive in the history of the Catalan club, it is now one of several teams in the English championship, as published by ‘Goal Brasil’, which would be studying the option of incorporating Coutinho, although there would still be no formal proposal. According to the same information, this list of possible destinations also includes the Everton and the Aston Villa, although they’re not the only ones.
Offers on the table
The Arsenal and also other Premier teams such as Tottenham and the Newcastle They have explored the option of incorporating the Brazilian and even have expressed their interest to the player, who prioritizes a powerful sports project immediately, which would rule out the ‘magpies’, in the relegation zone despite preparing a large investment for this month of January. In fact, the set ‘gunner‘, according to the’ Daily Mirror ‘, he has already presented a proposal to achieve his assignment with a purchase option, at the end of the season, from 10 million euros.
The high record of CoutinhoOne of the highest of the Barça squad, it is the most important handicap for his departure and for the clubs interested in him to be able to face the operation. As it already happened in the summer of 2019, just a year and a half after his arrival at the Camp Nou, the high salary of the Brazilian complicates that there may be both a transfer with high amounts and the most likely option is a transfer with a purchase option. In this sense, and as Arsenal now proposes, the Bayern Munich already obtained the transfer of the Brazilian in 2019, paying 8.5 million euros for the one-year loan, also taking charge of his file, and with a purchase option of 120 million euros that he did not exercise.
